We seem to have gotten back on the legal hobbyhorse again.

Since we are programmers, and not lawyers; and since we are
all better off when litigations are kept to a minimum, and
are applied in the pursuit of real criminals; aren't we way
ahead when we apply our own talents to fixing security flaws
instead of spending our money on lawyers?

I realise this reflects a downright un-american attitude...
