Yesterday, the house passed S.397 which makes gun manufacturers not liable for any crimes or damage done by people using their products (NY Times, AP).
Meanwhile, this summer, Grokster v. MGM mandated that software companies can be held liable for crimes committed by people using their products.
If a society's values can be measured by the laws they pass, then our society values stopping piracy more than it does stopping assault, armed robbery, and murder.
Or, perhaps, a different explanation: Government for the money, by the money.
