It wasn't the larger general public that called in to radio stations and burned CDs, it was a small group of right wing activists.

Oh really? It always is, isn't it? The stealthy hand of the Right-Wing Conspiracy. It just never enters your head to consider the possibility that you might be wrong about something, does it?

This is censorship, pure and simple.

No, it isn't. You haven't the foggiest idea what censorship is.

Due to their experience with the restrictive English government, the framers of our constitution specifically included a ban on prior restraint in the First Amendment, which is an attempt to stop information from getting out there before the public has a chance to see it at all - exactly what is going on in this case.

Barbra the Constitutional Scholar.

What a peawit.

Um, I thought that censorship was when the government does it. This was due to citizens using their voices.

I thought the movie was supposed to be just a drama and not a biopic, then how can there be any information?
