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. It would essentially be the same as walking around with a website URL on your shirt. The observer is responsible for typing in the URL or scanning the code and what they decide to do on the website that follows.
I tend to agree that this is how it should be, that doesn't mean that's how it is. If you walk around with a T-shirt that says "kill all CEOs" along with where to find them, you're going to run into some trouble, despite being a similar situation- you're just giving instructions, it's up to the viewer what to do with them.
Except the shirt doesn't say "visit this site, there are cool things on it". If you're gonna make the comparison to CEOs then it would be like putting a CEOs address on your shirt.
