It does happen when software is made under specific contract. You do pay an exorbitant price for such software though.
For generic software - this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Go sue your politicians instead. I am pretty sure you'd find enough cases of lost revenue / income coming as the results of their actions.
- liketochill 5y agoWhy should software be unlike other industries that are held accountable for their products? Imagine everything in your life had no warranty and click through eula type terms and changed uncontrollably to improve some metric for the manufacturer. I suppose it all comes down to when life and environment are on the line instead of just revenue, and for revenue as you say the people who can afford it pay for it and enforce it with their contracts. To me therein lies the difference between programming and software engineering.
