In January, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report urging lawmakers to consider adopting legislation that would hold software vendors liable for security breaches.
If software makers were held liable, the cost to consumers would rise dramatically, said Marc E. Brown, a partner at the Los Angeles law firm of McDermott, Will & Emery."
How so? Higher cost to purchase (lease)? But wouldn't that be offset in lower costs due to getting the bugs out? Assuming the vendors start delivering less buggy software in self defense.
