How about the fellow who, in all innocence, got hold of the infected
software he thought was free of copyright that proceeded to eat his
hard disk?  He has a valid tort, and you're the biggest and most
obviously wrong target.

I'm not interested in seeing this shit happen anymore.  I've seen too
much harm done by viruses already, and anyone who makes it worse for
any reason, or advocates it, is a horses ass.
