“You cannot use the PlayStation Network with this account (8002a227)”

With Sony’s recent announcement, it’s unclear if the are banning users for attempting to circumvent the security of the PlayStation Network or they are banning for pirated software found on the console.  Perhaps both.  The letter below is rumored to be what Sony has been sending out to warn users of the service violations.
