I meant where did you learn from that game sharing is illegal?

From the second link, to the T&Cs

Correct me if i'm wrong here but nowhere in that sentence mentions that it is illegal or even against the rules to share your account they just advise against it for security reasons.

"If you share account details with someone who uses your account in breach of these Conditions or we believe that your account has been compromised, your account and/or access to Sony Entertainment Network may be suspended or terminated."

it's not saying its illegal, just if you do it, and we find out, we will suspend/ ban you

I've avoided discourse on the subject of 'legality' because that just ends up bogging down the forum with confusing jargon and international variation. Sharing accounts is not subject to criminal law, which is what people sometime think they mean when they refer to it not being 'illegal', but does come under civil law, specifically contract law.

When a contract states 'you must [...] not share them with anyone else', this is a demand, not just friendly advice. The SEN contract then even goes on to say they will suspend or terminate your account if they even believe this has happened.
