That doesn't sound like a problem with a) or b) at all but purely with c).
Also, something is wrong with your example. Cost of buying the original platform is $X, sales (not revenue) for multiple years is $3,500, fixing it or replacing it by a compliant platform is $Y. A "fix" is clearly not more expensive than $X and that was much, much less than the revenue from the sales.
Also, it seems to me that the original product was defective (illegal), so why should she have to pay for the fix?
- Mirioron 7y agoSo, are you going to argue that the developer needs to now be held legally responsible for this? Because I can foresee how this makes lots of front end devs stop providing services.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoThe developer sold me a product that is unsuitable for its purpose. Of course they should either fix it or stop selling it. I don't think that "If they can't sell broken/illegal stuff, they will just sell nothing" is a convincing argument or that nobody will show up to sell non-broken stuff.
- litoE 7y agoThe "original product" is OpenCart. As the name implies, its open source. If it's defective, who are you going to sue?
- diffeomorphism 7y agoWhy are you immediately jumping to suing? I'll ask for a fix or a refund on the $X. If they can't fix it and I can't find a competing product for $X, then the price should have been $Y to begin with and I have no basis to complain.
