No thats not true, he provided the jail break hack info to everyone with a computer so that they could break Sony's security on their systems and run pirated software. So my metaphor stands. Had he only hacked his console that would be one thing but he hacked everyones consoles by releasing the hack and he brought down Sony's security system.

So yes he broke the window. Also he knew by providing everyone with this jail break that people would use it to pirate(Steal from the store)

Here's a brick. If you throw it at your neighbour's window, you can break it.

I hope you don't do anything illegal with that piece of info I just gave you.

Almost right on except its more like

You see a man trying to break into a house, then you say "Here's a brick if you throw it at the window you can break it"

Or at the 2011 Vancouver riots "Here's a brick. If you throw it at your neighbour's window, you can break it.".

He knew that the person was going to throw the brick through the window if he provided it!
