This product, if used correctly...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that the developers of software used to "fileshare" copyrighted material can be held liable because their product is instrumental in committing a crime.

So why can't the manufacturers of guns and cigarettes be sued when their products are used to kill people?

Does this also mean that if someone uses Internet Explorer to browse my website and download one of my photographs without permission, I can sue Bill Gates?

I think the Supreme Court is just looking to create more work for fellow judges and lawyers; they are the only real winners in this case.
