No more PSN account sharing
Pre-Order from Amazon & Get $10 Off Your Next Game:
Alot of people were sharing their PSN accounts with others so they could download games or even trade games. Yes, this is illegal and wrong but it still happened until now.
A friend of ps3clan.nl logged into his PSN account only to find that he couldn’t play the games he downloaded of someone elses PSN account. When this user tries to launch a game a message appears stating the copyright stuff. Furthermore, according to this article, it sounds like the person that has shared the game is also having the same trouble.
All we can say is be very wary of this and stop sharing PSN games with others because this could happen to you if it hasn’t already done so.
It is clear … SONY has, after downloading to a maximum of 5 consoles apparently found something on the ‘illegal’ downloading PSN games against them.
they have found a way (the Sony employee that I spoke was’ t already have MAC addresses, etc.) to find out whether it is actually YOU PSN account / game, and not those of someone else.
Play safe.

What if you own more than one ps3? Is it then illegal to share between them? Also is this limited to only games on the PSN or does it extend to down loadable content and premium themes as well? Would be nice to know more details on this so people like me don’t get in trouble for sharing bought property between other bought property.
Does my mac adresse change if I upgrade my computer with some other hardware? For example change the graphic card?
