Questions about HD loader and the like

[MrCaine01]

I'm trying to settle a few arguements between a friend and me. He wants to buy this item: NEW HDAdvance 2.0 USA PS2 and I told him that they don;t sell stuff like HD laoder anymore because there is some way to copy games off your comp and put them on your ps2 HDD. He says that isn;t true. First off isn;t the HDAdvance a rip off of the original HD loader? Second, isn;t this stuff off the market nowadays for the reasons I stated?
