Sometimes it's useful to take a large parallel jump as a way of exploring an issue. This one just hit me as a direct parallel (riffing on Gareth's idea below): Is it possible to hold a web browser manufacturer responsible as a tool to breach security and steal credit card numbers, perform denial of service attacks and infiltrate secure systems? It would be amusing to see someone take legal action against Google for the fact that Chrome enabled an attacker to penetrate a Google internal system someday. Maybe I need coffee before thinking about this stuff!
