    The Supreme Court just publicly called for comes to weigh in on who is responsible?

    What is this, solicitation of bribes? Because these big companies are going to try to swing the vote with cash.

      The relationship is different though, BMW is not a service provider.

      A better analogy would be the phone company. Is it their job to monitor their customers conversation and determine the legality of what is being said?

        I am sure BMW’s TOS has a sentence in there somewhere that they are your daddy once you sign up and this is binding forever. Looks like that means they are a service provider for life.

        Also… isn’t a subscription for heated seats means they provide a live service that we need to pay regularly to maintain?

      I could see the Supreme Court rejecting this based on that idea… If you blame the manufacturer, that’s going to open up all manner of gun lawsuits, ammunition lawsuits, etc.
