== Material Harm ==

"Material harm" from a web page? Interesting postulation!

I looked up Google [define:harm] at http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&... %3Aharm but Google [define:material harm] got no responses.

Definitions of harm on the Web:

injury: any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident or fracture etc. damage: the occurrence of a change for the worse cause or do harm to; "These pills won't harm your system" damage: the act of damaging something or someone http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Harm is physical or psychological/emotional damage or injury to a person, animal, or other entity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harm

represents physical injury, death, ill health, property and equipment damage and any form of appropriate loss. http://www.astro.cardiff.ac.uk/safety/

Undesired consequences of an action or event. It can apply equally to people, the environment, or property. For instance, the German (DIN VDE 3100-2) standard states that, "Harm is any detriment caused by a violation of a legal interest, as a result of a certain technical process or state". http://www.fz-juelich.de/inb/inb-mut//vdi/vdi_bericht_e/glossar_e.html

I'm presuming that "material harm" just reinforces the belief that a web page can cause harm to someone, especially a web page containing spam, vandalism or some other supposed inaccuracy or inappropriate or mismatched content that has not been cleaned up yet (though the visitor can clean it up - hey, it's a wiki - EDIT EVERY PAGE!) or, worse, outright poorly written content, oh my!
