On Beating Software Liability
Schneier notes a funny but inherently scary blog entry about how software vendors could try to avoid product liability, were they ever held accountable for bugs in their software. As a software guy, I can’t possibly fathom how evil I would feel implementing any of these schemes, but I certainly can see the allure from a business-dodge-liability.
This would be a hopelessly horrible user experience but goes back to the danger of unintended consequences.
