  • Abstract
    The applicability of product-liability law to software is examined, using a hypothetical case to illustrate the difficulties. Product liability is reviewed, and the issue of whether software is a product is explored. The question of what standard of care to use in judging the developer´s conduct is considered. Some guidelines for assessing exposure to liability are provided.<>
