> I dont want to live in society where a company can be sued for everything that can go wrong

Well, it isn't for me to argue with what kind of world you want to live in. Those are your authentic feelings and you're entitled to them.

> If netflix failed to hire db security experts to notify them on this possibility, then yes sue them.

I don't know how lawsuits actually go, but in principle at least the idea of a lawsuit is for Netflix to stand up and say "We did this and this and this" and for the plaintiffs or whomever we call them to say "yes but you failed to do this and this" and for a judge and/or jury to decide the case on its merits.

That's a nice fantasy, of course. In reality there's all sorts of backroom wrangling and juries baited into hating the big bad company and what-not. But in principle, a civil suit provides both sides and opportunity to make their case just as you say.
