Yes, if I own the copyright to my work, and you alter it and I don’t agree with it, I can call it censorship because you are altering, without my approval, my copyrighted work.

Its about copyright infringement, its about the law, either you are for the law or you are against it. Its cut and dried, ask the other companies that did this and lost in court. Read the fine print, understand the law, its actually the law, not just a suggestion, its the law.

Wrong. Censorship involves a government. This is a private transaction between two willing parties. There is already a device on the market that strips objectionable content from movies as they are being played. The courts have upheld the legitimacy of this device. The rest is just splitting hairs, and it’s only a matter of time before we can all pick the level of filth we’re comfortable with in our entertainment— a right we’ve been deprived of for too long.

Wow! To think when I wrote notes in my college textbooks I was both a "censor" and anti-art.

Sometimes, after I've read the Sunday paper and put it back together, I put the "C" section in front of the "B" section. OMG!
