  2. What’s Wrong With the Arguments For More Programmer Liability ARGUMENT C O N T R A R Y E X A M P L E “The importance of innovation in applications goes beyond its role in fostering economic growth. The Internet, as a general-purpose technology . . . creates value by enabling users to do the things they want or need to do. Applications are the tools that let users realize this value. For example, the Internet’s political, social or cultural potential—its potential to improve democratic discourse, to facilitate political organization and action, or to provide a decentralized environment for social and cultural interaction in which anyone can participate—is tightly linked to applications that help individuals, groups or organizations do more things or do them more efficiently, and not just in economic contexts but also in social, cultural or political contexts.” - Barbara van van Schewick [Internet Architecture and Innovation] Conclusion – Software development as a whole is much too precious and fragile to be litigated on by our federal government at this point in time. There are software injustices out there but as of today (DEC 2013) there aren’t any proposed policies that get it just right so as to keep the cost of developing software reasonable and fix these injustices.
