    There is de facto responsibility (DFR) associated with any intentional action.

    An act performed under misinformation isn’t intentional.

    The mob boss situation is different

    Only because the mob boss’s intent is made explicit in the example. The same boss who owns a car dealership, and all his gang members just happen to get cheap cars there that they use to commit crimes, we’re back to your example.

    Each party is DFR for their contribution to the tragedy of the commons

    That doesn’t mean anything. There’s no logical consequence that flows from it.

      It depends on how the misinformation relates to the act. There can be cases where such an act is intentional

      That sounds like a conspiracy. There are cases where the DFR party isn’t imputed legal responsibility because there isn’t enough evidence to determine who is DFR. It means we don’t know not that there isn’t a fact of the matter.

      Natural resources are not fruits of labor. They should be socially owned. Each worker coop DFR for greenhouse gases would be liable to society
