The code or the actions? I'm all for holding people accountable for bad actions but I don't think that writing code is enough of to show intent to harm.

- emodendroket 10y agoI don't know if it's that simple -- if I print out fake dollar bills it'll probably be treated differently if I sell them as movie props than if I sell them as counterfeit money you could pass off as real.
- kahrkunne 10y agoIf the printed money is identical? No, you'd be treated the same for both. If you're talking about different bills then your analogy obviously doesn't apply.
- emodendroket 10y agoAre you sure about that? http://www.omaha.com/townnews/crime/prop-money-used-in-movies-among-counterfeit-bills-passed-around/article_aa328426-e1c7-11e6-a011-7fa4f1f37370.html http://www.omaha.com/townnews/crime/prop-money-used-in-movie... > Owning prop money in itself is not a crime. But it's a crime if people try to pass the prop bills off as real money, said Capt. Jim Duering of the Grand Island Police Department. Seems like the same principle would apply if you were selling it for the purpose of enabling fraud.
- lawtguy 10y agoYou're not allowed to print fake money that looks like too much like real money. See https://www.marketplace.org/2015/03/10/business/tricky-business-behind-fake-hollywood-money https://www.marketplace.org/2015/03/10/business/tricky-busin.... From the article: "Essentially what this law says is that bills must be either 75% smaller than or 150% larger than the size of a real bill and one color, one side." So printing fake money could be a crime even if you don't attempt to pass it as real.
