On the why, actually I suspect its more about economics. They have service agreements with the publishers to ensure their console stays more or less hackproof, and do this by funnel online traffic via the PSN service. This ensure they keep their end of the bargain up, and the publishers do not have to be concerned about cheat checking within their code, since its outsourced to $ony.
However, since people with Egos bragged about it on live TV, this service agreement probably have a penalty clause, which mean the crab needs to cough up to the publishers, so its hurting their pockets. In my view if this stayed low key, mr geo didnt draw attention to it, he never would have been dragged to court.
On the CFW giveaway, its your history log that gives you away mostly. Banning (from what i understand from an insider) is manual, and not automatic. The automatic check only checked our earlier logs which wasnt wiped when the first CFW came out, and thats why most received warnings. Multiman for one do some selective cleaning of its own when it exits from what i understand. Also, the IP address means nothing, since it can by dynamic, the ban is on your console ID.
Yet again Mr bear you do know your stuff! This is what i keep saying each time someone posts that they are on ban and cant understand why when they are on 3.60 OFW. they dont seem to realise that they never cleared out their registry before updating to it thus giving a big
flag to sony saying i had cfw! They cannot ban an ip for the simple reason that say i moved tommorow i could use my ps3 at my new house to log in! and escape the ban!
