Except if they were halfway intelligent they wouldn't have it go automatically to the site.
And when you do this and something goes really wrong criminal charges get laid.
I'm not sure if you could actually get criminal charges for this unless you were hosting the malware in which case that's another issue.

Same argument for having it direct you to somewhere like meatspin. Can't be distributing porn to minors.
