I can then quickly check the IPs geolocaion and make a judgment. If I check the IPs and one is from UK while the other is from Austrailia, then I know that the user is sharing their user info, or someone stole it.

What would be even better is if ldlm could figure out the aprox location of the IP, but that is wishful thinking.

Just wondering, this isnt a huge deal but I have caught a few people abusing the system.
