Yes, because the world is FILLED with .txt, .html, and .pdf viruses. (Okay, there has been some .pdf malware, but Adobe has closed loopholes since then.) Malware works only in files that contain executable code-- a virus in an .rtf file (for example) would show up just as a jumble of nonsense characters.
And, sites that publish pirated copies of ebooks (or anything else) are self-policing, and the "legit" ones have some moderation-- if there is malware in something, it is reported in comments by downloaders on the site, and removed by sites that have moderators.
Your post is pure ignorant FUD.
