Some time ago I've seen an episode of a cartoon (probably by Disney)
in which a character was criticized/reproved for having downloaded
music from the Internet.

I'd like to discover which cartoon was that and in which episode that happened


Thanks in advance.

Best regards..

Hi ncrfgs,

I believe the cartoon you are thinking of is "The Proud Channel". This
episode was aired Oct 5, 2001.

"Some media watchers are crying "foul" for Disney's use of a pre-teen
television cartoon to convey an anti-file-sharing message. A recent episode
of Disney's "The Proud Channel" used a plotline where Penny Proud is
introduced to file-sharing by a friend. Penny develops a liking to
downloading music from the Internet. The trouble starts when a musician
calls the police after receiving a smaller royalty check than expected. The
police - who surround Penny's house - threaten to arrest her causing her
parents to take away her computer. But if that's not enough, her downloading
music puts the local record store out of business as well."

"In a 2001 episode of "The Proud Family," a Disney Channel cartoon
series, the teenager Penny gets addicted to filesharing after she is
shown the wonders of a Napster-like program called EZJackster."

"The Disney Channel cartoon series The Proud Family aired an episode
on October 5 entitled EZ Jackster . In the storyline, EZ Jackster is a
Napster-like site, and the show's little heroines get addicted to the
service and play a part in the downfall of the music industry."

Hi rainbow,

Thanks you very much for your answer! Very fast and detailed.

Unfortunately I'm not sure it's what exactly what I was 
looking. I'd need to watch it in order to be sure. I will look 
for it and let you know.

By the way the articles you've linked are very interesting 
and are a good starting point.

I wonder if there is any other cartoon that deals with the 
same topic...
