I think Sony benefitted from turning a blind eye to PS2 piracy. And I also think Microsoft might have purposefully used hackers to develop counter attacks. Maybe for fun.

Piracy promotes a platform - if there is one company that understands that thoroughly, that's Microsoft.

Hence, I doubt they employed people to promote piracy on the PS2.
