so when grandma's windows box is rooted by a 0-day 'sploit from javascript served by visiting Gardening Today's website (grandma lives in Phoenix, GT is based in (let's say) New Hampshire), she can file a small claims case against Gardening Today to get her computer repaired? $125 initial estimate fee, $200 in "labor" to scan and remove the malware, treble damages, so $1000 sounds about right. I'm sure "quality journalists" would be happy to right these wrongs, wouldn't they?
