Hello Max,

Are you a lawyer, or a current law student? Once I know this I can better
provide an answer that may make sense. I'm asking because your question as
presented is somewhat unusual, and kind of reads like a possible law school
exam question.

All the best,

Dennis

subsequently utilized to initiate lawsuits against businesses or companies
that are considered inaccessible. The testers are compensated when the law
firm settles the lawsuits. Essentially, this could be perceived as a form of
extortion.
