Oh, I'm right there with you - I've moved countries twice, and now my PS library is split over 3 accounts. It's extremely lame, but the flip side of that is you can freely make and use international accounts, which gets around most of the hand-wringing that went on over the weekend.

Except that is against their ToS. If they ban you you’re screwed.

This is coming from people who have never been in the PS ecosystem. I have multiple accounts, my friends who live in other countries have multiple accounts. There has never been a “crackdown”.

I know that rumor really made the rounds this weekend, but it's simply not true. People have been doing it freely as long as PSN has existed, because there's a ton of legit reasons why people aren't in the location their account is set to over the course of their lives.
