This has effectively doomed (almost) the entire IT industry to corruption. Yes, all the way from software to hardware, from sales to support, the IT industry is corrupt.
You've got a keen insight into the IT industry, Steve. The really nice thing about this is that all these corrupt people really get excited about filing lawsuits against each other when their interests get threatened or when they think they can spread some blame and force somebody else to assume their bad risks and absurd decisions. This makes for an extremely well-paid computer forensics expert witness business that can be populated by real experts who understand the true nature of this business. You CAN get paid for refusing to be involved in the massive fraud that the IT business became in the 1990's... You simply have to know what type of work to get involved in. Maybe the market for IT products and services will undergo a real shakeout of its entrenched criminal element over the next couple of years and honesty can gain a bit of a foothold. My sense is that the Internet bubble in the stock markets actually removed a number of the perpetuators of the worst offenses by making them so wealthy that they simply retired from the business.

The software industry seems to have nicely circumvented this risk apparently with the (IMO lame) excuse that since its 'impossible' to guarantee its correctness and reliability in the first place the software vendor shouldn't have to shoulder any burden if it turns out to in fact be incorrect and/or unreliable. ... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
