I hear this same argument from clients who want me to unblock Napster. If you look at the definition of censorship, it becomes fairly clear that when a private company decides to block certain types of content from its private network, that is not censorship. In order to "censor" Napster, or new.net, or anything else, I would have to block (or at least attempt to block) every possible access to it, rather than simply blocking it from my company's private network. http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=censor At 04:22 PM 5/18/01 -0700, Mike Batchelor wrote:
Blocking new.net is, in fact, censorship, not a cost saving measure.
