AITJ for deliberately corrupting my co-author's draft files after discovering he planned to turn our academic treatise into a pop-psychology paperback?

¿Soy el malo por haber corrompido deliberadamente los archivos de mi coautor al descubrir que quería convertir nuestro tratado académico en un libro de autoayuda sensacionalista?
