Stupid company

The Princeton graduate student who pointed out that anyone could override certain copy protection software just by pressing the shift key is being sued by the company that makes the software. Sure, the company lost about $10 million in market value after the news came out, but how is that his fault? Isn't it their fault for releasing a crappy product? Or for not doing a better job of testing it in the first place? This makes me want to give lots of money to the EFF.
