Might be useful to distinguish between the ideal and the actual: in an ideal world, you of course shouldn't need a lawyer and the manufacturers should smilingly thank anyone who discovers an exploit and tells them. In this less-than-perfect world I'd suggest getting a lawyer and then going to the media.

Interesting how digital rights, when they apply to privacy and outrage about eavesdropping it's "just the USA", but when they refer to liability in an out-of-control justice system it's as if does work the same way in the entire world.
