Yep that is right, the owner of the content is inevitably responsible for the security of the product. Do you call the police after you get robbed and swear at them because you left your front door open. Do you blame the area you live in for the break in, or because you're dumb enough to move into a bad crime area.

You can spin it any way you like.
