DeCSS Distribution Through Microsoft Outlook Virus (Score:2, Funny)

Since I've seen to many Outlook viruses out there in the past year or two, how about this time we create one that actually does something productive rather than wreak havok?
I say someone writes an Outlook virus that would have compressed copies of the DeCSS source code attached to the message. Like most other Outlook viruses that run without the user knowing, this one would as well, execept it put the DeCSS souce code on a area of the hard drive where the user would normally not look and rename it (say C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKUZIDRV.SYS).
Later, if need be, the file could be retreived through another e-mail to the same person (assuming they keep the same computer) if we find the number of copies out there dwindling. Again, another Outlook virus that would create a new message, attach the file and send it to a specified address.
