Abstract
The new EU Product Liability Directive (PLD) is set to create the most significant change to software liability ever witnessed by re-defining software as a “product.” This lightning talk will introduce and compare two liability frameworks: fault-based negligence (which has always applied to software actors) and no-fault liability for defective products (which has never before applied to software actors, but soon will).
