If so, that concept is bordering on “thought control” and makes us a lot closer to the “1984” story....

Actually it reminds me more of the movie "Z" from 1969. It's all about the military dictatorship in Greece. At the end of the movie the narrator says:

Concurrently, the military banned long hair on males; mini-skirts; Sophocles; Tolstoy; Euripedes; smashing glasses after drinking toasts; labor strikes; Aristophanes; Ionesco; Sartre; Albee; Pinter; freedom of the press; sociology; Beckett; Dostoyevsky; modern music; popular music; the new mathematics; and the letter "Z", which in ancient Greek means "He is alive!"
Back then we were all appalled that a letter could be banned. Now in 2007, we have a number being banned.

You said — “Back then we were all appalled that a letter could be banned. Now in 2007, we have a number being banned.”

Never did see that, but, yes, it is appalling... The system is crazy. They should have never passed that DCMA...
