Chao:
If you feel safe with giving them your key, then I dont think there is a problem with it.

Every time you sign into the game and every 15 minutes after that you authenticate to the Master Server, which records your IP address, time, and other information. It then cross-checks this information with any other instances of that BL_ID on different IP addresses and if there appears to be a discrepancy, it kicks both players. You'll sometimes see players being booted off servers for an error along the lines of "Failing to authenticate with the master server."

This also probably sends up a red flag for Badspot. He'll sign on to his system and get an overview of suspicious activity. If the keys have a history of being in two places at once, he'll deactivate the key for being shared.

He's posted snips of the auth log.

It shows IP changes and name changes (which also show IPs)

I get it now

Grumpy:
Definitely safe for your brother to use it within your household. However I would for wait for a more official response before your cousin starts using it.

That's because it's not switchin back and forth between Turkey and Florida every day. He can see the location of where the ISP is, and if its obviously being shared between two unrelated individuals, then it's probably safe to deactivate.

My IP switched back and forth between Sweden and Egypt fairly often when I was on vacation there for a week because of unstable VPN connections back home.
