This analogy has been flawed from the beginning, but to extend it just for the fun of it, that's like pulling the trigger of a gun and then blaming the gun for having the mechanics to turn that trigger pull into a fired bullet that kills someone. The action being done is on your end, and the system, though possibly flawed, is not the cause of the results. It may be a factor and it may enable those results, but the actor is the cause in that situation.
I honestly don't even know where I stand on the actual discussion point, but I do know where I stand in the weird analogy tree we've made.
It is more like blaming the owner of the gun, who loaded the gun, aimed it, set up the shot, and then left it up to the trigger man whether or not to pull the trigger.
Bringing things back to reality here, AT&T was entrusted with personal information but failed to properly secure it. They set up a system that automatically responded to requests for personal information. They gave unauthorized people access to that system. We should be blaming AT&T and making them pay punitive damages for their irresponsible behavior, not whining about how terrible Weev is for using the system they gave him access to. The fact that AT&T can just shrug it off is what allows the sorry state of security to persist.
