You don't pay, they pay, because your liability is limited.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"339637\" data-originallang=\"en\">You mentioned the three million breaches. I think at one of the earlier hearings we tried to track it down and couldn't find it. It's really hard to know what kind of breach they're talking about.</p>",

Ils le font, et ils le font tr\u00e8s bien, puisque c'est eux qui paient. Ce sont eux qui paient et non le consommateur, puisque la responsabilit\u00e9 du consommateur est limit\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"339637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez parl\u00e9 de trois millions de manquements. Lors d'une audience ant\u00e9rieure, nous avons essay\u00e9 de v\u00e9rifier les chiffres, mais nous n'avons pas pu les trouver. Il est tr\u00e8s difficile de voir de quels manquements il s'agit.</p>"
