Questione giuridica chiave
Whether distributing virus-creation instructions falls under Art. 144bis Ziff. 2 StGB even if the instructions were not written by the defendant.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The provision also covers passing on instructions for making programs intended for data damage, regardless of authorship.
Motivazione estratta
The wording allows the mere transmission of such information; the purpose of the norm is early prevention of data-damage preparations, so third-party dissemination is equally punishable.
