Interesting, I just had a course in which they say there's a difference between risk for software company's and other company's.
If Toyota makes an error with their gas pedal, massive lawsuit. Bug in Windows? Nobody even thinks about suing Microsoft although it brings countless businesses in danger.
Ok there's a difference, but generally, people expect bugs in software and they don't expect them in other goods. It's a huge market failure which doesn't do software security any good.
Now for Dropbox, I hope this turns out well, I like Dropbox:-) but I don't think suing for bugs is a bad evolution.
