I work in ad-supported TV. We would never send a virus to our audience's cable box - and we *certainly* wouldn't ignore it if one accidentally slipped through.

We'd also be much more responsive if people were complaining about porn advertising on our general interest networks, and more sensitive about trashing up an established brand.

Sorry - this is nothing like free TV.
