Obviously it is not a virus per se, but the net effect is the same as a virus. And even more importantly is the fact that you miss the point--that COD spreads like a virus, and you don't understand how it could in the scenario that I gave. Specifically, if I go to my local Kinkos and momentarily store the copied material on a hard drive, I am using a non-infected Zip drive to do so. Thus, there is a very good chance that this non-infected Zip drive could get the COD, and as a result pass on the COD to my non-infected disks as well as those of any subsequent user of that store's Zip drive. Thus, contrary to your writings, Iomega has clearly admitted that it is very possible to spread COD by copying non sure disks to a hard drive.
