If your bank screwed up their private key in the way that Sony did which enabled hackers to access your account, you wouldn't blame the hackers you would blame your bank for their lax security. I don't understand why people rail against the hackers when the one who truly screwed up here is Sony. It is the same deal if you all bought a super advanced security system from Sony and someone figured out how to open the front door to your home with a special knock.

On to other news, people have the right to do whatever they want with their system. Sony has the right to secure the system in a way which limits what people can do with their hardware. Sony exercised their rights, other people exercised theirs. We don't live in a society where companies can tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property, that is up to the courts to decide if your actions impact on others in a criminal or civil way.

 


I would blame both, especially if the hackers dumped the mean to do the hack and the info they got. Which is what is going on here when any of the systems get hacked.

SONY is still culpible for having suck security, but so is MS and nintendo. 

SONY screwed up, the hackers are still assholes.

Your second paragraph is completely right. Also the fact that people do not have the right to distribute the methods of hacking said systems.
