Questão jurídica principal
Whether distributing virus-creation instructions falls under Art. 144bis Ziff. 2 StGB even if the instructions were not written by the defendant.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The provision also covers passing on instructions for making programs intended for data damage, regardless of authorship.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
