If i visit The Pirate Bay and download a software program, lets say, Open Office ,a free program ,will i be assumed to be a illegal downloader just because i visited a site notorious for illegal downloading ?

and yes i know there are better sites to get open office and other free software from,it;s just a example to show a point
