IDsecurity talk

I am not a lawyer, but Erin is :-)

Erin Kenneally is a lawyer here at SDSC.  She works in digital
forensics and has also published this article on software liability:

Agreed, there haven't been any really significant cases where the
software vendor has been held liable, but if I am reading this article
correctly, the vendor *should* be liable, as they are the only entity
that can correct the errors.  Its just a matter of of getting a victim
with deep enough pockets to afford to continue a case to the end, I
*think*.
