Re:Definition of Negligence--Sony guilty (Score 1)

I don't quite agree. There's a strong analogy here to cigaratte smoking. The cig. companies give a warning on the packs that "Smoking is injurious to health" and they can still sell their products legally. Sometimes they also get sued, but the fact that they can legally sell their product like this must be protecting them against indiscriminate lawsuits from smokers. Similarly, drug companies post warning on their products such as "for external use only". If someone intentionally/unintentionally consumes the drug internally, I don't think the company would be liable for damages. So I think SONY is on a clean ground here by posting sufficient warnings on their CD. They clearly intend this as a feature of the CD - not a 'defect'.
