"Not pushing malware", _wink wink_.
Let's say I set up a lemonade stand in my neighborhood every weekend, where I pour a bunch of cups for people to take, put up a sign that says it's free, and I set out a tip jar.
After a few weeks, I get upset that people have been taking the lemonade without
leaving tips, so the next time I set up the stand I add a toxin that I know will cause immediate damage to anyone who ingests it. To protect myself, I have of course been posting a sign every weekend that says the lemonade is provided as-is.
So – did I do something wrong, or not? Will a court look at this situation and say, "gee, he just poisoned his _own_ lemonade and set it out for public use, it's not like he forced anybody to drink it"?
This feels like 100% black-and-white criminal conduct, and I would hope anyone who pulls a malicious stunt like this would be held liable for it.
