Sony patent to combat piracy by comparing load times.
As you can see in the chart above, the patent describes a secondary validation stage to which a serial number and the "user identification information" are checked against "reliable data, such as that sourced from the manufacturer or developer of the media title."
This information could include account names, location, IP addresses, the speed of the user's connection and product license numbers.
The secondary validation would account for load time errors caused by hardware issues, but would also be skipped entirely if the first cycle - the load time benchmark comparisons - checks out.

EMT I don't know what half of this means
You're thinking too hard, look at it closely and what it says. It's just a step-by-step process to allow a user on that game.

ComplianceHallSoulfulZwrq This seems easily bypassable though...
Yeah, probably very easily as well.
We shall see :D
Only time will tell :P
I guess so, I think it will be pretty strong though.

SOGMazurSOGyayMazur I really don't get this chart .-.
I don't get it either, just looks like a bunch of random words out of place.
Well, it's one of those 'make a choice' puzzle type things. If you get through the stages, you can play your game, if not = block.
oh okay, it makes a lot more sense now haha
Yeah, I didn't look very hard the first time and I didn't get it either.
me neither, i never have really understood these types of charts...
