PlayStation Network v2.0 to implement policy changes

Sony is set to give the PlayStation Network User Agreement an update that will definitely have an impact on both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable owners. The said change will occur on October 30 and will launch PSN v2.0. Most of the updates refer to uploading materials on the online service.

We are still uncertain what effect this will have on gamers, but it seems that this is already setting the stage for the release of the PlayStation Eye. The changes also seem to pave the way for official game modifications and user content mods such as those on the upcoming Unreal Tournament 3. A part of the new agreement reads:

You may not take any action, or upload, post, stream, or otherwise transmit any content, language, images or sounds in any forum, communication, public profile, or other publicly viewable areas or in the creation of any Online ID that SCEA, in its sole discretion, finds offensive, hateful, or vulgar.

This includes but is not limited to, any content or communication that SCEA in its sole discretion deems racially, ethnically, religiously, or sexually offensive, libelous, defaming, threatening, bullying or stalking.

Aside from that, it seems that Sony will activate a feature on the PlayStation Network that will allow gamers to share official material such as screenshots of a game:

You hereby authorize SCEA to use, distribute, copy, display, and publish information relating to your game play for gaming purposes including tournaments and ranking, without payment to you.

In addition, you will have the option to post, stream or transmit pictures, photographs, game related materials, or other information through PSN to share with the PSN community (“User Material”), provided no rights of others are violated.

The remaining details discussed in the new contract involve viruses, malwares, and other malicious attacks. We believe that violating these new rules will have consequences so you might want to check the whole changes via our Read link below.
