Well it depends. I haven't read the story, so I don't know if it's a good analogy, but if a safe company made a lock that was easy to pick, it doesn't give me the right to steal what's inside. If it's your safe that's been compromised, and you find that many other people who have the same safe have also had thefts occur, you might try suing the manufacturer, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't want your property returned and those who stole it held to account. Again, I don't know the particulars here, but there seems to be a perception that stealing things online isn't really stealing.What does it say about responsibility for losses due to manufacturing defects?
