Not my problem. If they didn't know how it worked, they shouldn't have
attached it to the family jewels, so to speak.

Intuit does not qualify for victim status. It's their responsibility to know
*exactly* how the software works. If they failed to exercise due care, it is
*their fault.* Don't corporations have any responsibility, or is
responsibility just for the little people? In any case, this is a totally
theoretical issue because Intuit hasn't admitted that anything is wrong.
This is a company at war with its customers -- just like the airlines were,
and look at the airlines now.
