Are Hack authors liable for the use of their work

This thread is 'inspired' by comments made in the Super Admins can Read Private Messages hack thread by Floris.

To not polute the hack thread more, all posts on the subject of liability of the author/vb.org have been split and put in this thread.

Feel free to continue the discussion in this thread.

We've already had that discussion and my point of view about this shall not change, nor do I use this on my own sites. If you disagree with this resource, don't use it!

As the author, you SHOULD warn people that the use of this hack without the proper disclaimers when a user signs up is considered a violation of many state and some federal laws (at least within the US).

That is simple fact, not an ethical discussion.
