Not quite. A better analogy here is this: there is a supplier of fridges that is notorious for unreliable power circuits. People know this, and buy those fridges anyway, hoping that it won't happen to them, because the fridges are popular and have a particular copyrighted layout of the door and shelves so that they don't have to learn anything new when visiting friends or moving to different house. Initially, the fires weren't the people's fault; but when the people kept buying and installing those fridges in spite of the problem, they expressed their disregard for the issue with their dollars. At that point, they began to deserve the consequences. (Of course, the analogy is quite flawed because not everyone knows; there are always some new users who think they are getting a safe fridge, and are cheerfully sold the death trap.)
