i never talked about a virus Well, only in the most peripheral of ways. But the fact remains that putting a virus into a not-to-be-shared .exe is playing with a really big bonfire. Whether or not warez kiddies deserve it is another matter altogether, IMHO, but the simple fact remains that a virus is not the wisest course of action. They have a tendency to spread, and if the warez child who got it from you hacks it open and isolates it, it can come back to you in a far more deadly form. I really don't recommend it. And the problem with Hiram's idea is that you'll find yourself having to deal with possible hundreds of people all looking for a password. Unless you have some sort of javascript that can do this automatically (and maybe they do exist, I don't know -- I mean, there probably is, right?), you're gonna be spending an awful lot of time answering e-mails.
