radiophobia 

Radiophobia is an abnormal fear of ionizing radiation, in particular, fear of X-rays.

The term is also used in a non-medical sense to refer to general opposition to the use of nuclear energy.
The Castle Bravo Nuclear test, in which more than a 100 fishing boats where accidentally contaminated and more than 23 people died, also resulted in the first instances of Radiophobia. While the danger was very real (seeing as 23 people died), it also caused widespread unjustified panic.

The surviving crew members, and their family, would later experience prejudice and discrimination, as local people thought that radiation was contagious

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
