> Those are mistakes
They are not just mistakes, they are mistakes at scale. Mistakes en masse. Thus, they are mistakes that should carry a heavy weight and a heavy culpability for the wreckless carelessness that brought them about.
If I made a mistake and my software enabled mass media piracy, lawyers can, would and should come after me regardless of me or my software's pledge to learn and make those mistakes "more rare".
Especially if I keep committing those mistakes and cover up for them by adding individual specific blacklists rather than making expensive systemic fixes.
