He opened up a product for piracy; piracy that would harm the profits of a very important company that provides vital competition and employs over 150,000 people. The Piracy would also affect the whole developing community. Basically, his actions could have led to very damaging consequences for many, many people.
I don't believe this should be promoted. Anyway, i'l leave it at that - we obviously aren't going to agree here.

In the eyes of the law, the size of the company doesn't matter. A US court has already deemed that jailbreaking a device is legal, and no one has ever been deemed guilty of releasing jailbreaking guides.
If you don't have anything which contradicts the above, we should leave it at that...

While he didn't break the law he was still sued for harming Sony's products and potentially their profits which they are allowed to sue over.
If games are stolen because of piracy this is less money towards a developer which could easily put them out of business (Sony owned or not).
You don't think Apple would happily gaurd against any jailbroken phone if they could do it? Make it so that thousands of Apps don't get stolen every day?
