Before Quidam closed my thread I was going to add that I did email Disney
corporate with this text. Grow up bro:
"Recently on your Disney Channel program "Shake It Up" there was a comment
made by one of the characters that due to open souce software, that computer
obviously got a virus. I believe your writers were confusing open sourced
software with pirated software. Open source software is community based and
due to that open and peer reviewed nature, doesn't come with malware and
viruses. Pirated software on the other hand includes tools and modified
executables to trick the program into thinking it is registered and therefore
can include infected code.
I know your writers were merely assuming that open source software was bad,
but they could have done some research before casting a negative light on
something they do not have the authority on. Please be considerate in the
future with the words you use that are projected to millions of
impressionable children."
