It's always the fault of the tailgater. There are other ways to ask someone to move over like flashing your high beams. Tailgating just creates a dangerous situation.
In my experience, if someone is tailgating you in the right lane, then speeding up is not likely to make them tailgate you any less, because such a person is either not paying attention or intentionally being a jerk.
If you're in the right lane and being tailgated, it's the fault of the tailgater.
There's a reason why some states have traffic signs that state "left lane for passing only".
