The blame for executing any code from a medium that isn't supposed 
to have any executable content is and remains only with the system
that does it. It was a dirty trick from Sony, but possible only 
because Windows allowed it. 

And if some day a hacker exploits Linux desktops executing 'autorun'
files on USB sticks, don't blame that hacker but send him/her some
flowers. The blame is entirely on the system allowing that (usually
to create 'a rich user experience').
