Robots are starting to break the law and nobody knows what to do about it

Maybe it’s a sign that robots are growing up, and thus hitting the rebellious stage.
The Random Darknet Shopper, an automated online shopping bot with a budget of $100 a week in Bitcoin, is programmed to do a very specific task: go to one particular marketplace on the Deep Web and make one random purchase a week with the provided allowance. The purchases have all been compiled for an art show in Zurich, Switzerland titled The Darknet: From Memes to Onionland, which runs through January 11.
The concept would be all gravy if not for one thing: the programmers came home one day to find a shipment of 10 ecstasy pills, followed by an apparently very legit falsified Hungarian passport– developments which have left some observers of the bot’s blog a little uneasy.
If this bot was shipping to the U.S., asks Forbes contributor and University of Washington law professor contributor Ryan Calo, who would be legally responsible for purchasing the goodies? The coders? Or the bot itself?

I'd be very interested to know the definitive answer to this.

This is a modern day version of "I didnt kill him, the bullet did."
ETA: To expand on that. If you coded a script to buy drugs online, then its on you.

It is the coders. If not, what would prevent me from writing the same code with a bias for purchasing illegal things?

What were they expecting if the shopping pool is only the deep web?? There a reason the things are for sale on THE DEEP WEB and not the everyday web

If we start giving them rights, know what they're going to be like in 50 years?

I'm a little relieved that our future overlords like to party.

I know what to do about it. Take ecstasy and travel to Hungary
