Booo! How can they be so dumb?!?

I don't think it's that dumb, bittorrent can be used as a vector for spyware as much as any other file transfer method.

Increasingly spyware companies are modifying bittorrent content to include spyware. Realize that bittorrent users are mostly not like the ones here who may only download straight media content (although I see a lot of comments from people who download software and copywritten content as well.) And that the average user isn't savvy enough to realize that something is wrong when you download a tv show and a eula for spyware shows up when you 'install' it.
