I agree that software vendors / developers ought to be liable for the mis-behaviour of their software, the exact same way that hardware vendors are. Already the threat of lawsuits and fines might be sufficient to get a lot of people's attention, *especially* the behemoths. Now *that* would have quite an effect on the 'psychology of programming' !
