Or how about this little gem about Scribd:

"That's like a drunk driver protesting innocence because he's covered by the best insurance company."

Wait, what? If a pirate is a drunk driver, then Scribd is a car manufacturer. Does it make sense to sue Ford for drunk driving incidents in their vehicles?

Does it make sense to sue a gun manufacturer because someone used their guns in a shooting rampage?

The crucial difference being, of course, that the intended use of a car is not to kill people in a drunk driving accident, whereas the primary purpose of a gun _is_ to kill people by shooting them.

Not saying it's necessarily right to sue the manufacturer based on the crimes of the users, but let's not pretend there's no difference.
