You guys are acting like this is a big deal? So they are getting banned off the service... this in no way stops people from pirating... And haven't they been trying to block these guys for awhile now? I keep hearing how the DNS hack keeps getting blocked. Sounds more like a desperate plea, "We can ban you guys so please stop playing pirated games, don't make us do it... :("

It is a big deal. A lot of people will not risk it due to the loss of PSN and other programs acess. It will not completely stop piracy but it will reduce the level of it.

Besides, playing offline with a 360 or a PS3 is just dreadful. Most games benefit greatly from online services nowadays.

They can play offline all they want. :>
