IMHO the way to properly apply a lawsuit would be to sue those
that are NEGLIGENT at patching and fixing 0wn3d systems.
So, if you notice a server listed at Dshield or on=20
your IDS that is actively performing portscans/attacks
and report it to the owner and upstream it must be fixed
within [INSERT TIME FRAME HERE].
If it doesn't get fixed, gather up the documentation needed
and sue them for negligence and damages for not responding
to and correcting the problem.

There are many MANY vunerabilities in Linux. Numerous web sites list =
them.
Can YOU code a program so that it has 100% security, no flaws, etc? If =
you
can why don't you go work for these companies?
Suing for flaws is not a good answer. Lawsuits arw RARELY a good =
answer. If
the flaw was deliberate and can be proved so, then ok.
Suing a software vendor over flaws is a very bad idea. Making them =
patch it
is a good idea, imo.

-- Korean Group Mulls Class Action Suit Over Slammer
(3/4 February 2003)
The People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD), a Korean
civic group, is weighing the possibility of filing a class action
lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. for damages caused by the Slammer worm.
A recently passed product liability law holds companies liable for
damage caused by flaws in their products.
