	Actually, I consider the analogy a bit dubious.  Firstly, we have
	the analogy between crypto products and firearms, which has been
	a thorn in our side for years.  But I've already griped about that.

	But secondly, you will notice that the firearm manufacturer was
	sued over the commission of a specific crime.  Dmitry is,
	apparently, liable for a hypothetical pretend crime.
