  • We acknowledge that the PlayStation 2 BIOS is system software copyrighted by its creator, Sony Computer Entertainment.
  • The files on this website are provided for archival, educational, and backup purposes only.

  • We DO NOT condone software piracy or the illegal distribution of copyrighted material.

What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for copyright owners to report infringement while offering a safe harbor for online service providers like us who comply with its procedures.

Our DMCA Process

Upon receipt of a valid and complete DMCA Takedown Notice, we will:

  • Promptly review the claim.
  • Expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  • Document the action taken.

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. We are, however, unlikely to act upon such a notice given the clear copyright status of the PS2 BIOS.

Repeat Infringers

As we control the content on our site, this policy is less applicable. However, we are committed to full compliance with the DMCA and will not re-upload any content that has been the subject of a valid takedown notice.

Our Commitment

We take our legal responsibilities seriously. PS2 BIOS Hub is intended to be a helpful resource for the retro gaming community, and we operate in good faith to respect the rights of all intellectual property holders.
