PlayStation Network Gets Permanent Bans for Bad Software Users
Hackers released yet more software into the wilds of the Internet this week that enables people to do things with their PlayStation 3s that their PlayStation 3s were not intended for. Sony does not like this at all. Therefore it's USA wing has issued a stern banning warning.

It is the kind of stern banning warning that will deter the kind of people (you, us, our mum) who would not actually have installed errant software on their PS3 in the first place, maybe not our mum. It reads as follows:

"Unauthorized software for the PlayStationŽ3 system was recently released by hackers. Use of such software violates the terms of the "System Software License Agreement for the PlayStationŽ3 System" and the "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStationŽNetwork/Sony Entertainment Network and its Community Code of Conduct provisions.

"Violation of the System Software License Agreement for the PlayStationŽ3 system invalidates the consumer's right to access that system. Consumers running unauthorized or pirated software may have their access to the PlayStationŽNetwork and access to Sony Entertainment Network services through PlayStationŽ3 system terminated permanently."

PERMANENTLY! Or at least until you change your IP address and username.

"To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStationŽ3 systems."
