That they encouraged the sharing? That's why the give the five download limit?

I thought I remember reading about that last year. Maybe I'm just imagining it.

unless Sony thinks we will need to delete everything on are system atleast 4 times

i hope thats not the case

if they stop the sharing i would just need to spend more of my own money. I did get the Warhawk maps for free. I repaid it with HVB and Pain

My friends and I have shared PSN downloads are recently as the COD4 map pack. None of us have been banned.

Because it really is a cool feature. However they do need to drop the limit. 5 is too much. 3 download limit sounds fair. If people want to give away their other 2 downloads and their hard drive crashes or something then they have to buy it again if they didn't back up their ps3 data.

If this is true than sony should make an official statement saying it, otherwise we can not get banned since we dont actually know about it. id clarify this as a rumor until and official staement is given on this.

Well it is definitely against the EULA for the PSN store so yes Banning is possible and more likely the more account sharing becomes.
NDRM is also being extensively used now with 24hour account lockouts and single system access (Warhawk, Echochrome, GT5 Prologue)

(you'll also notice you don't own anything purchased from the PSN store....)

LOL take a look at the "alternative" sources the multiaccount troll added..

the last one is the best as it claims at the end that the headline is BOGUS. The whole issue was pulled out of thin air and adding links that are 3 years old from BEFORE the system launch seems a little childish ...

a prime candidate for an exclusive open zone account

This seems like a load of rubbish.

Why would Sony build in to the DRM the feature to download a PSN title to 5 different PS3's if they didn't want us to use the feature!?

We have two PS3's in our household. I bought a load of PSN titles, and I downloaded them to both the PS3's. The reason being I use both. The fact that other people who also use those PS3's can play some of the PSN titles is not my problem... It's a feature Sony built in.

To suggest people will be banned for doing this is patently absurd. If Sony have done a U-Turn and don't want people sharing the games, they could easily modify the DRM and patch the games to ensure they were linked to one PSN account, and one PS3.

When you press 'Triangle' over a game that you have bought with another account thats not your, you can see a message that say:

Other people, that are not the owner, can use this content, but if the original owner will be deleted, you cannot use anymore this content.

I think this guy was banned due to the Home Beta Leak (XML redirect method) a lot of my friends that have take the beta was banned.

I didn't get to read all reasponses.. But this is just BS..

http://www.wired.com/gaming...

Mr. Tretton's quote.

If a player logs into his PlayStation 3 account on a friend's system, he can download any game he has already purchased. "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment," said Tretton. "We want to get the game in as many hands as possible."

Anyway....

1) Your "account" can be assigned on up to 5 different PS3s that YOU have access to..
2) The default agreement on downloads allow you to install your account's purchases on all 5 machines it is assigned to so that all users on them can play it..
3) So it is clear, the 5 limit on purchased items are not a per item basis!!!!!! It is a per account basis!! That's where people get confused.
5) Each purchased item can be downloaded as many times as wanted to each of the 5 systems your account is assigned to..
4) If you decided to assign your account to 5 machines and one of them dies, Go Luck Getting Sony To Switch That Account To The New Machine so you can re-install the games on your new PS3. [So in other words, it is not in you're best interest to share with a lot of people.. If you're machine dies and you used up the 5 limit, you may have just lost your games!!]

Note: Some games put extra restrictions like Warhawk where you can install it on 5 machines, but the owner is the only one that can play it and a 24 hour limit when switching between machines.

Several people have pointed to the new TOS saying it now makes sharing bad.. But that's not what it is saying..

* You may not sell, buy, trade, or otherwise transfer your Online ID or any personal access to PSN through any means or method, including by use of web auction sites

This was added to stop websites whos only purpose was to share accounts.. So, if you go to your friends house, you can add (or log into if already added) your account to their PS3 if wanted.. But, on the other hand, you can NOT email or call someone and give out your info so they can add (or log into if already added) your account to share a purchased item..

Anyway, if Sony was putting a stop to it, why would their own knowloege base tell you how to do it.. Look at the update date on it also.. :)

http://playstation.custhelp...

This is from Sont's own knowledge base.. "How do I access my purchased PLAYSTATION®Store content from a different location, such as my friend's PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system?"
