Clifford, Yes, but unlikely here. The yahoo groups pose a much greater risk of email harvesting. I have also noticed that Microsoft forums proved to be a source of harvested goods. A very effective way to stop the pirate ads is to forward the email to the company (ies) being robbed. I started routinely sending pirate offers that included Photoshop to piracy@xxxxxxxxx I don't know if it helped, but there were several bust made of pirates just a few weeks back. I would also like to see ISP be required to forward complaints with attached SPAM to proper authorities so that all that solicitation can come to an end.
