Are you quoting Sony's legal position from a policy somewhere? ;) They went down the wrong road. Adware and spyware vendors will start to use this added cloaking feature to their advantage, I would guess. Plus almost every bot that is made will most likely see if this code is there (instead of using their own code) and use it as a standard check.
