The Dark Knight was a pretty amazing movie, but had some very graphic violence. Should I blame the creators of the movie, if an 8 year old downloads it illegally, or if he watches his parents copy that they bought? Should the parents blame the creators when their child watches it at home, rather than taking responsibility for their own neglect?
I think the hackers are responsible.
I also believe, however, that video games where one becomes a vigilante, killing people, or a thug that steals cars, robs, and murders for money, has an effect on the player. It becomes equal responsiblity of those who demand the creation of such things, and in a sense, meditate on violence, and even being a violent person, as well as putting such a thing on the market.
I read a study about subjects who watched violent movies, and who also had to voice their opinions about real crime, and their opinions. They found that the more that they watched violent movies, the less compassionate they were to the victims of the stories. Imagine if what you are doing is making yourself the criminal, and the possible implications that may have on you, and society.
