is there any way you can transfer data from a game on your ps3 to an SD card if it says copying prohibited?

Question

like on my ps3 i tried to copy my need for speed pro street data onto my memory card and it said "copying is prohibited" and i was just wondering if there was a way so i could still copy it somehow from my ps3 to my my memory card. If anyone could help that'd be great...

Answer 1

Theoretically, there is a way (I didn't try it, though). You can unmount PS3's HDD, plug it into your PC and copy it via DOS or other simple OS. Even Windows (may be) will allow you to copy those restricted files. But it's ILLEGAL, I guess.
