You have to have an actual intent to do the things I've highlighted in bold. If your intent is to serve ads and collect PPC revenue, then how on earth would that be intending to defraud, intending to injure, intending to cause damage, or intending to impair security protection?
I disagree about your interpretation of Intent John.

It's clear that the affiliate understands that in the PROCESS of serving ads through this program disruption havaoc will occur on the recepients computer, the affilaite to be already acknowledges this ... Intent is very clear ..their Intent is to Profit while in the process of damaging and inmnpairing the receipienst computers.

Now I certainly am not an attorney but I'll bet you any attorney worth his salt could use that angle of attack and shred the defence to pieces.. everyone who has posted about these types of programs ADMITS they screwup the recipients computers.

You are saying that it isnt logiocal for the affiliate to damage the hands that feed them.. but thats easily put to rest with simply looking at the Tabacco industry .who Kill their customers !
