It's also IMPOSSIBLE to play a 3D game over the Internet (the received
wisdom circa 1994).  If you think it is, it is.  

I strongly suspect there are a variety of more subtle/less draconian (and at
least as effective) solutions to this "problem" of people buying and selling
in-game assets on EBay.  It will be interesting to see how this policy plays
out however, and whether Sony has any actual legal legs to stand on in
trying to remove online auction sites from the picture.
