No, it's the same "root" cause but different kind of damage.

Let's say you burn down a concert hall _with the intention to prevent the concert_. Then you have two different kinds of damages:

- Destroyed Concert Hall => The owner of the hall suing you because you destroyed their property.

- Prevented Concert => The visitors (trying to) sue you for "preventing" the concert.

Sure, in case of the concert I would be surprised if the second case goes anywhere, but then the situation wrt. the app store is way more complex.
