I thought "responsible disclosure" was a marketing term..?

  It is there is, technically the act of finding vulnerabilities especially over a network is a violation of every computer crime legislation I know off.

  Yes and no. No, it's a descriptor. In the debate about the best way to handle knowledge of vulnerabilities, there arose a vaguely-bounded subset practices that got this name. Yes, it's also great marketing. Whatever has the name implies that it's the best of all possible alternatives, fait accompli.

  Yes, it's used to castigate hackers who don't do exactly what the vendor wants. And the more common term now is "coordinated disclosure".

    Exactly.
