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.

There are high chances, but we can't ALWAYS be 100% certain of it.

Yeah, they will probably do something that will make it so that it cannot be bypassed.

yayMazuryayMazurNaughtyNuts This is going to be bypasssed
someone always finds a way around something so yes eventually it will be bypassed
Especially since it's sony. BTW, is the PS4 going to be free online like before?
I would assume it would be, dunno why they wouldn't make it like that again
If they start charging, they might lose customers. People really liked the PS3 being free online.
Yea, I don't mind paying for XBL, but I don't want to pay for PSN too.
