releasing the security keys to the world

Note that it is Sony at fault here for using a freaking static master key. Even rookie should know better.

Sony may have made it easy, but that doesn't mean they're the only ones at fault.  Stealing candy from babies is easy too, and sure it's partially the baby's fault for not holding on to the candy with much strength, but it's also the thief's fault for being a dick and stealing candy from a baby.  Unless Sony posted the key on the internet themselves they aren't the ones at fault for what Hotz did.

A)  The problem with your analogy is that most babys can't hold on to Candy tigheter.  This is more like... a guy holding his wallet in one hand with his arm oustretched.  Yeah... it's still the persons fault for hacking it... not Hotz though... the people who actually hacked PSN.
