Though for the record, I would like to see AT&T lose this case, badly. If you design a system based on personal info you damn well should shoulder the liability when you screw it up.

Baloney. Their system collects personal info for the purposes of phone billing, not for the purpose of trying to secure a relationship of two strangers trying to pretend they know each other because of said phone number.

Agreed. The metaphor in the article seems lacking: all lobbies have signs that say "not responsible for any stolen or lost items". If I leave $25M in jewelry in my room and they get stolen, it seems like a stretch that a judge would hold the hotel liable for the full amount.

Law school is three years of learning what reasonable means.

In the U.S. eventually we learn that "reasonable" means whatever the jury wants it to mean. Unless the higher judge finds that whole jury to have been unreasonable.

Just spoke to an attorney about this general topic this am, the law is written then subjectively applied by humans in a jury. It's very clear why settling is so popular and the US is so litigious.
