Which again... didn't cause piracy.  Someone later may have used those keys to pirate....

He didn't.  That simple.

You don't penalize people for other people being jackasses.

"Someone later may have used those keys to pirate" o_O you mean the keys he distributed online? or his house keys?

Keys distributed online.  Again, can't penalize people for other people being jackasses.

That's like me giving my friend the address to another friends house to send a birthday card... and then be thrown in jail for murder when the guy freaking murders him.

People who misuse information are the only people who get punished for it.  Not those who provide it.

Again,   You would get in trouble for releasing work related information in a variety of fields in the United States.  Anything related to the medical field, releasing information can get you fired, black balled, legally have action brought on you (Criminal / Civil ) .  

If you worked for a Bank as a safe operator and told someone the combination to the safe while they proceeded to rob the bank(You would be considered an accomplice).

If you worked for Lockheed Martin or a variety of other places and released trade secrets, you would not be able to freely release information or you could be facing the consequences which could be in the form of a variety of ways.

 

Releasing Trade Secrets is a punishable offense and a worthy one for Sony to go after.   This isn't a Sony unique thing either,  Apple didn't like it when he did stuff with their phone either.   No company wants to watch their products go up in smoke.
