Can another Main account on same PS3 use another Main Account's DLC?

I have a Main account on my PS3.

My son has a Sub-account that I made for him when he was younger.

We then realized that Sub-accounts has certain privileges lost to them.

So I am thinking of making a main Account for him.

Question:

Can the new main account that I will be making for my son on the same PS3 use the DLC I have bought on my original main Account?

We have 1 PS3 and we both use it.

I have bought various DLC (ie: Rock Band DLC, COD, PAIN, etc.) and would like him to use the DLC on his own Main account on the same PS3.

With the exception of 1 time use codes, all DLC is shared with all other users.

what one time use code? i thought it was mainly for DLC?

but if you purchase a DLC code, that one gonna be invalid after you use it. that also apply to PSN card.

however, DLC are shared by all on one console. that also include any games you purchase.

but you have to remember that your account has to be there, for the game to be playable. if it not there, then your son won't be able to use your dlc.

We are doomed.

But no, I don't think Sony engineers ever graduated, let alone even own a PS3.

1 time use codes are codes that can only be used with the account that redeemed them. A good example is the MAG free DLC. I d/l them to my Ray186 name, but the DLC is not available to my P3ril- account

I have gotten some preorder and beta codes that will only work on the account upon which they are redeemed. Premium avatars can also only be used by the account that buys them.
