Obviously he knew it would happen, but that is not his fault.

If you could develop the cure for cancer and Aids and whatever else, but also knew that the same drug could for instance make men impotent or would kill people who use it as a poison, must you not make the drug? Maybe not the best comparison, but I think you get the idea. You can not blame him for other peoples' actions.
Does Voicy use his jailbroken Iphone for pirated software? Somehow I dont think so. Thats how I could argue that.

If you made a drug that could do that it would go through clinic trails and if the cons out weighed the pros then it wouldn't make it to retail. I bet I could find a drug in your cupboard that could be used as a poison.

I dont blame him for other peoples actions, I blame him for giving the parasites the means to pirate. Coz face it if he hadn't then they couldn't play pirated games on their ps3s. Thus it is directly his fault. How many people do you think hold Robert Oppenheimer personally responsible for the 246 thousand people killed in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But since those bombs effectively stopped the war in the pacific society has forgiven him. Why does everybody still hate Hitler for the 6 odd million people killed in the camps, he didn't kill them himself. But since his crimes led to the death of even more people in the war society has vilified him. Unfortunately for Holtz he is Hitler and not Oppenheimer, his actions led to more piracy not less... Im sure if we could chat to old Adolf today we would hear a similar story of how he only had the best intentions for his people.
