   But, the virus is *not* spread due to piracy -- is is spread via an
infected disk.  Is is in no way related to the act of piracy (except for
the coincidental fact that a pirated disk *may* be infected).
   It may have been first spread via a pirated disk, but that is
irrelevant now.

   So, please don't make the equation: piracy == virus, and
   Please, take the AIDS discussion to the newsgroup it belongs.

   Thanks.
