Any charges would be brought against the device's purchaser, wouldn't it? It would be up to the owner to choose to sue the manufacturer of the product. IANAL,

  Not that my gut counts for anything, but most prosecutors unless they're just trying to make an example of someone in particular would not be wise making that assertion I think, because they'd have to pin it on the customer doing it intentionally. I'm not a lawyer, nor is this legal advice but I'd think the manufacturer that actually controls the implementation details would be a far juicier target. Otherwise, precedent would be set such that every user of that model Television would potentially be another offender waiting to caatch tge eye of law enforcement to jave a token charge thrown at them. Just seems like a massive anti-pattern to me.

  Any lawyer who looks at taking this to court will notice that the manufacture has much bigger pocketbooks and so will do everything he can to sue the manufacture if it all possible. Getting a minimal judgement against your average "living paycheck to paycheck" person on the street isn't worth your time in court. However it is "easy" to update that to a class action lawsuit against a manufacture where the average man on the street gets $5 and you take home big money.
