Do you know that you can actually share your content with others? If you don't, read on.
First thing, I do not whatsoever encourage content sharing, because somebody will find it wrong, or your account may get hacked, etc.
Back to the topic. Sony allows users to activate 5 PS3s to share downloaded content. One of the reason is to enable user to still play their content on the replacement machine while his PS3 is under repair.
However, allowing this feature enable people to share the content with each other when they purchased a content. Simply log in into your existing account on the PS3 that you wish to activate and download the content that has been purchased. The list link is on the top right side when you enter PS store marked "View Download".
Note that it only activates 5 PS3s. The system is unique to console ID not the profile.
An example:
Person A bought a game on PSN store using his account, then let B,C,D,E login using A's account and download the game and split the cost.
Tomorrow person A bought another game, but since B doesn't like the game, he refused to participate. Person A finds a replacement which is F, and agree to split it among C,D,E,F.
Can F play the game? Answer is no, because for account A, 5 PS3s has been activated (A,B,C,D,E). So you can't activate another PS3 unless you deactivate one of those five.
And once you deactivate, all the content that has previously downloaded using A's account will no longer work.
You can deactivate in user management on the XMB.
