Exposing software flaws for profit

IMO there is a social obligation to expose software flaws to the software maker and no one else. I would think that the language of the agreement could add this condition and some standardized form of compensation which should not constitute win the lottery. Anyone choosing to blackmail by not disclosing the software defect for the set financial compensation should do serious prison time.
