Wave of bans starts on Playstation Network
Banning modified PS3's
The ban hammer is here again as Sony promised a few days ago. All consoles with CFW or 'pirated' games are being permanently banned from PSN
Bad news we have here.
A few days ago, Sony announced that they will be taking measures against all those CFW users that access the PSN with their modified consoles, regardless if they use copied games or not.
If you don't remember, you can read the full statement below:
Important Notice: Access to the PlayStation®Network and Access to Sony Entertainment Network Services
Dear valued PlayStation®3 customers,
Unauthorized software for the PlayStation®3 system was recently released by hackers.
Use of such software violates the terms of the "System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation®3 System" and the "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStation®Network/Sony Entertainment Network and its Community Code of Conduct provisions.
Violation of the System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation®3 system invalidates the consumer's right to access that system. Consumers running unauthorized or pirated software may have their access to the PlayStation®Network and access to Sony Entertainment Network services through PlayStation®3 system terminated permanently.
To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation®3 systems.
In order to help provide a safe, fair, online environment, consumers who we believe violate "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStation®Network/Sony Entertainment Network or the applicable laws or regulations of their country or region risk having access to the PlayStation®Network and access to Sony Entertainment Network services terminated permanently.
Sony has started this new wave of bans as the affected users are reporting that through forums all around the Internet.
