> they could arrest a mapping product programmer for some nefarious third parties who plan terrorist attacks.
What if the programmer distributed and supported the product on a terrorism planning site, and worked to ban anyone who mentioned using the mapping product for terrorism? And who knew of a plugin for his software designed to calculate bomb shrapnel distribution?
The guy sells his software through a hacking site, provides a plugin API, but states that it shouldn't be used for hacking. The situation seems similar to ROM sites that say "only download if you own the original game", smoking stores that sell bongs "for use with tobacco products only", etc. He'd have a better defense if he sold the software through a forum for Windows enthusiasts, or something.
