..but it _was_ "distributed to them."  Have your friend 
ask them for the sources and see what happens.  If they 
are serious about how they run their business, they will 
_not_ be interested in becoming known for buying pirated 
"warez", nor for being caught "with pirated warez live 
on CNN, Fox 'n al-Jazeera." ;o)
