I don't know if it applies in the US but there is some precedent for being tried for committing acts that, while not illegal, are certain or highly likely to lead to other illegal acts, and the individual can be proved to have known that in advance (if they stated "if other people use these codes that's on them, not me", for example).

First google result. Talks about negligence specifically, but the premise is the same.


That's good to read. so the break down could be this.

Creating the random code generator = not illegal
Putting it out there for others to use = foreseeable consequences that could become illegal.

Yeah. He can generate all the codes for all I care. Having the entire list of codes on his screen doesn't hurt anybody. Technically sharing them doesn't hurt anybody either, but I think he bears some of the responsibility for anybody that does use the codes he gave out.
