  1. What are the legal ramifications of this? by CyricZ · · Score: 0, Troll

    This sounds a lot like possible entrapment. The authorities start a contest such as this, an unsuspecting programmer submits a malicious program, and he or she is arrested and charged with a variety of computer crimes. Frankly, I won't participate in this contest considering the current legal state of America.
