I think to blame/sue the company that is nearest to the user should work fine. (following is hyperbolical) If you don't do it that way, then yes it would be slippery because the big bang would need to be sued. But that makes no sense.

So if an attack is planned via mail you think we should sue the postal service? The phone company if it's done over the phone?

If my buddies and spend a month plotting a crimer in my cousin's spare room, the cousin would be complicit since he knowingly allowed us to use his property for a criminal conspiracy. The USPS doesn't know what i am sending in the mail since they are a common carrier.
