In this case, its us telling the corporation that we don't think they have liability for a guy reselling their product.

Liability is used as a boogyman in corporate american to squash all sorts of good and bad ideas.

Unfortunately it's a very real boogeyman in the US.

"The U.S. has the highest liability costs as a percentage of GDP of the countries surveyed, with liability costs at 2.6 times the average level of the Eurozone economies"
