Odd tor spam

hi all,
I've just received a really odd spam which try to "educate" to the use of
tor as an attack vector.
Here's the body of the mail (turn off javascript before trying to visit
that link ;-) ):

Do you trade files online? Then they will come after you. Read the news on
RIAA and what they are doing to everyone they find. Tor will keep them
from finding you. Keep the internet private and down load our program for
free. <a
href="http://69.255.111.145/">Download Tor</a>
-8<-8<-8<-

A quick "strings" on their version of tor.exe shows something like
"RealShellExecuteA" and similar stuff.

ciao
