Default Is it wrong to want a CFW on PSP/PSV?

Me: No, and here's why.

Custom Firmware allows the console to expand its features to the Homebrew Community, which allows to run, applications, games, plugins, its full potential and whatever is possible within the machine.

Now there's the bad side, the piracy, despite all the greatness of CFW and Homebrew Communities' of PSP, due to piracy CFW/HC get bashed for illegal activities on the console.

You bought it, it's yours and you're free to install the software you please to, though, like Xbox 360 you get banned if you end hacking it.

As of now, I don't have a PSP but really, it's pointless people criticizing the homebrew side of PSP when it allows so much more than Sony ever did to PSP (in terms of features/apps).

I'm planning on buying a PSP and installing it CFW to enjoy the both worlds, official + homebrew. I've seen Sony did make use of the homebrew community plugin' on PSV, the screenshot ability is what I'm talking about.

PSP Homebrew didn't ruin PSP, piracy did and the people who literally just bought PSPs to install CFW for the wrong reasons (play pirated games).

^ However, if there's someone who bought the UMDs and wanted to backup them on his/her memory card in a smaller size I don't see the prob, it saves time, space and no need for physical space waste (UMDs are really cool looking discs + collectibles too).

Btw, I hope this will stay open for discussion, if there's anyone interested in leaving a comment.

Cya.
