Would you also say that Uber doesn't violate taxi laws or AirBNB doesn't violate zoning laws, and it's just the Uber drivers and AirBNB hosts who are using the products to violate the law? What's your responsibility when you hand someone a loaded gun and it goes off?

- zamadatix 7y agoWhen a router ships you can't select a licensed band. This is a different concept than "product does something bad" this is "is the manufacturer responsible when someone modifies the product to do something bad". Clearly not, the person that knowingly modified it to do something illegal is at fault. Preventing anyone from modifying anything is a backwards response to the real problem: the guy that wants to do the illegal thing.
