After many of months of users Jailbreaking there Ps3's systems and after many firmware updates. And with scene developers with lawsuits filed and websites getting take down notices, well it is about time for the men to take a step in with some action.
Today Sony Sony Computer Entertainment released the following statement below:

Circumvention devices and game piracy damage our industry and can potentially injure the online experience for you, our loyal PlayStation customers, via hacks and cheats.
Many PlayStation.Blog readers have asked how we intend to deal with these incidents that they have been reading about in the gaming press, and this is our initial response.
By identifying PlayStation 3 systems that breach our guidelines and terminating their ability to connect to PlayStation Network, we are protecting our business and preserving the honest gameplay experiences that you expect and deserve.
Rest assured, this message does not apply to the overwhelming majority of our users who enjoy the world of entertainment PlayStation 3 has to offer without breaching the guidelines detailed above, and we urge you to continue doing so without fear.

Some Ps3's user's are already getting banned as you can see by this statement by my Bud Schaff.

In light of all the recent hacking issues that have plagued the PlayStation 3, Sony has began to defend its console to a much greater extent. With Sony recently having sued PS3 hacker GeoHot, it’s clear to hackers that Sony is no longer fooling around when it comes to messing with their console.
Users who have tried to bypass the PlayStation Network login have found that their accounts have been banned. According to those who understand the hack, it has to do with forcing a login certificate in a way that makes the console’s DNS addresses to assume everything is operating normally. However, users using this technique were quickly banned, receiving the following message:
“You cannot use the PlayStation Network with this account (8002a227)”
The reasoning behind these bans is still open to speculation, granted the bans could be for two primary reasons: Attempting to bypass the console’s security, and attempting to use pirated software. Either way, this is the moment many PS3 gamers have been waiting for; the moment when Sony finally decides to take action.

It did not take long for thousand's to receive emails about this. I'm sure it will not be long until Sony starts to break out Microsoft Banning styles.
Here is just a Quick Picture of the Email I received on Yahoo.

So let's say someone reported someone's PSN ID to Sony. Would they get banned?
They couldn't ban on every little report. I'm sure Sony would have to take a look at the account and determine if the report is valid or not.
Not quite sure how the system works, but it can't simply ban on report.
