If it were the developers, then I understand why they did what they did, but I don't like their means. I agree with framework that downloading pirated software is just asking for trouble, but I mean, geez, a virus (mal. code) , that's all we need in this world is more virii!!!! I'm sure they could have come up with a better protection then that. Now someone is going to take that mal. code, and make it into a self-replicating virus, and I hope that the developers (if they are guilty) download it themselves!
