My stock answer to this argument is "And when did you last get any satisfactory redress from a software company whose products were defective or simply did not work?" followed by "How often have you had problems?".
You know what the problem is, the executive staff want some one, anyone,
to hang the blame on, they aren't expecting anything ACTUALLY be done
about problems, they just want a target for the lawsuits, should the
need arise.
I was fortunate in that I work for a small company, I'm the IT "team",
the CEO knows me well, and thus trusted me to manage a solution that
I know was low cost and effective. 2 years of trouble free and royalty
free/license free LAN protection later speaks for itself.
