What if I'm Mikrotik, a tiny company in Eastern Europe, and I sell a switch to mighty Google that causes google.com to go down. Am I liable for Google's losses? What about Google's users losses?

It's the same question as "What if I'm Sun Orchard Apples and I accidentally sell a rotten one to Elon Musk and he eats it and dies?"

  • You become responsible for billions of lost wealth and go bankrupt? It sounds like the lesson here is to never sell anything to anyone bigger than you.
