Thought this should be on here, was surprised it wasn't already. Many seem to see this as suicide from a business standpoint, I'm genuinely wondering what Sony will do. I would love for them to take a stand, but as always it's the little people who will be hurt by this no matter what.

And to be fair I believe it was always as simple as opening accounts for different regions to play them, but it seems they are actually paying someone to bypass region lock somehow. I feel for the people just trying to play games.

When the Internet was born I had all these crazy ideas about meeting people all over the world and playing with them, becoming friends. I could never have imagined all the bad things that came along with it, much less that one of which was making the world so small.
