    How about: it is a hacking tool that has been used to commit cyber crimes. It should be confiscated and destroyed.

    Sure, I bought the gun. I loaded it with live rounds. Yeah, I aimed it at the guy. I won’t deny I pulled the trigger, either. However, once the bullet left the barrel, I stopped being responsible for it! The bullet killed him, not me!

    His point is that without intent there shouldn’t be liability…

    How could you even claim that as a lawyer. I wouldn’t be surprised if most liability is without intent.

    Putting aside the obvious “yes they should,” if they’re not liable when bad things happen, they also shouldn’t get any credit for good things.
