Sony Interactive Entertainment America (SIE) has announced that it will be implementing a copy protection system for its PlayStation 4 console. The new system, which is being called “PlayStation 4 Security,” will require users to input their personal information before they can play any game. This information will include their name, address, and other personal information. If a user tries to play a game that requires this data to be entered, they will be prompted to enter their password instead. This move comes as a response to the increasing popularity of piracy on PlayStation 4. In February of this year, Sony revealed that it had received over 100 million complaints about piracy on the console since its release in November of 2014. This number is only expected to grow as more and more people are able to access pirated games online. While this move may seem like a step in the right direction, it is still important to remember that Sony is only implementing this system because it believes that it will help reduce piracy on PlayStation 4. If users feel that they are not able to play a game because of this protection system, they should not hesitate to contact Sony for assistance.
