&gt; <i>At the end of the day, online businesses serve things to customers just as venues serve performing acts and stores sell goods. There is some expectation of due diligence over what they provide.</i><p>Devil&#x27;s advocate: where does this line start and stop?<p>I&#x27;m not advocating for download.com. Stores aren&#x27;t held responsible for bad products. Physical stores like Walmart and Target as well as digital entities like Amazon and Newegg have shelves full of products designed to break under minimal use, high markups for mediocre products, and products that have been cleverly advertise to look better than exected. This is not completely analogous to serving malware, but the onus is not on the store to vet the products before selling.<p>Why should download.com be held responsible for hosting crapware when we don&#x27;t hold stores pushing goods liable for selling us gold-painted trash?
