(812 posts)Labeling and characterizations aside, can you show a case where it's been an issue? Or even a hypothetical would be fine? Just to see where you're coming from.
Of course no industry should be shielded from their responsibility. Obviously it's a question of defining what that responsibility is. Afaik, companies are responsible to sell products that work.
If a company sells a car, and the car drives off a cliff because of a design or mfg flaw in the brakes, the car company is responsible. If the car drives off a cliff because the driver chose not to use the brakes, the car company is not responsible. Agreed?
But again, let me know what I'm missing in terms of specifics and/or examples. Speaking in broad terms ("We want liberty!" is too vague to be helpful.
