> completely upsets the economics of content management and makes it absolutely impractical for content owners to monetize through ads

Why? An insurance product wouldn't wipe out ad revenues.

> this is not much different from "regular" crime. It happens

Why do you think parking lots have signs that say they aren't responsible for goods stolen out of cars parked there? Because that liability, by default, exists. And if a parking lot is a robbery hotspot, and the owners don't bother putting up cameras or whatnot, they'll absolutely start facing lawsuits and investigations.

> it doesn't relieve you, the citizen, of responsibility to be mindful and exercise situational awareness

Nobody argued as much. That doesn't mean we give negligent actors monetizing malware a free pass.
