Of course, engaging with the emulation community is out of the question, as Sony regard the community as criminal pirates, and acknowledging it would be legitimising its existence and that of unapproved, non-DRM-enforcing emulators.
I might be out of the loop here. I know Nintendo is constantly swinging their lawyers around and Microsoft has put some barriers in front of running emulators on Xboxes. I'm trying to remember the last time I heard any Sony news about emulation though.
Last I can think of is whenever they removed the PS3 support for Linux in the name of "security" and had to pay out a class action settlement, but even that wasn't directly about piracy.
There was the whole bleem thing
