201w ago - It appears Sony is cracking down on those who are sharing their PSN identification and password to grant select items in
PlayStation Home.
PSN game sharing is also labeled as violating the ToS later in the PS Forum thread (linked above).
Community Manager
CydoniaX stated the following:
As many of you are already aware, there are members of our community who are requesting your PSN identification and password to grant select items in Home.
We would like to remind you that the Home staff will never ask you for your password, or any other personal information in Home.
The members of the community doing so are participating in activities that violate our terms of service. This is wrong, illegal, and most definitely NOT OK, and we will be handling these offenses accordingly.
Please be assured that we know who has done what. We know that many of you who participated in this are also some of our most dedicated and enthusiastic Home users and might not have been fully aware of the ramifications of your actions.
That said, appropriate actions will be taken against individuals violating our terms of use.

I had an excellent discussion with GlassWalls (head mod) yesterday. Anybody with exploit items (even through someone else) on their psn will be getting a minimum 30 day ban on their psn, console, and the forums. Bans range from 30 days to permanent. They will be going out next week. I have no ties to Sony, I do not represent them. I would strongly advise all of you to abandon your efforts with this exploit. Don't believe me? That's fine, you can find out the hard way. I'll be serving my time alongside you.
I hope most of you who were banned only got the 30 day treatment though. Do you know what the ban length criteria is based on? (i.e. How many items, etc)
