   This big ruckus with the aids software that was sent all over the

   On the news they told the story, and ended with the warning, "So
   stay away from all free software".

Big deal.  During the media hysteria after the Internet Worm last
year, I heard the "expert opinion" (not just from Saturday Night Live)
that wise, careful people would never let their computer connect with
another computer.  The internetworking community seems to have
successfully ignored that advice, too.

People who don't want to think will always find someone else to do it
for them - and often for a tidy compensation.
