By your argument, if I buy any piece of software and find a bug in it, then it's my fault for not doing QA on the software? I'm afraid that sounds completely irrational to me!
You may not have to do it, but you should at least check to make sure it has been done. If you do not, and then you sell the software to someone else you put your name on it and yes, you are to blame.

This last part cracks me up. (Sony, as an innocent party.) Thanks. I needed a laugh.
