Why you should never pirate music

Hey, I went down to Hume Lake (www.humelake.org) for a week, which is a pretty cool Christian camp. They had something called recreation, which was essentially an hour where your team competed in weird games. Before recreation they had rec chapel, so called because it was before rec and in the chapel. Each time at rec chapel they would play a song which I would later discover was kernraft 400. I decided I wanted this song, grabbed it off the interweb via a google search. After I download the song, all is good. Then my computer crashes. No problem-I restart and get back to buisness. About 5 minutes later I decide I want to listen to the song I downloaded so I put on my headphones and the song is playing in a continuous loop. I don't have any music playing programs up, a quick search of the task manager doesn't reveal anything I don't recognize in applications or processes and the music is still playing. I get freaked out and delete the song-and it's still playing. The song eventually stops when I start playing music in both iTunes and windows media player, but I have no idea why it decided it was going to start playing and why it continued playing after I deleted it (I did virus scan it, so that probably isn't a reason-and what kind of virus does that?) Anybody have an explanation for this aside from a lesson about the dangers of piracy?
(The song I downloaded was technically not pirated since it was a public domain remix, but otherwise I don't really have a subject line)
