Am I responsible for the programs I make

[marcin1337]

Ok so I got an offer to make a program.

It is a spammer program, it goes to a auction site crawls through the auctions and sends the auctioneer a spam message. It also would use a proxy to do this.

The site says in the agreement that it does not allow this.

I wouldn't be the one running this program, only I would make it.

Would I be liable for what it does?

Possibly.
But, do you think a crook or conman will pay you properly?
I'd walk away from this crooked deal.

Is a gun manufaturer responsible for the deaths of people shot with their guns?
