(Suprise to read that from PV.)It is DIX resources/equipements... they are not oblige to offer reliable/secure/valide/etc services to anybody outside their clients.
It like saying that blacklist services like spamcop should be liable for mail servers XYZ deleting your email.
Anyway *litigious* is kinda limited our south neighbourgh... DIX is under a different legal system.
Good luck to DLink lawyers trying to bend reality enought the make DLink right... and oblige DIX to offer NTP to DLink customers for free.
