EFF Supports Censorship

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed a brief in federal court in support of companies that offer software to edit violence or sex from a user's DVD. The full story can be found in this article from the Salt Lake Tribune." I knew this would happen sooner or later; it's been obvious to me for a while that the EFF isn't really as certain as it thinks it is about what it stands for, rather then against.

Chapter 4 - Censorship and Free Speech

Today's section is on Censorship and Free Speech... and truthfully, it's mostly a re-hash of my earlier definition of censorship; after this has been posted for a bit I intend to remove that article and replace it with a pointer to this chapter. However, this chapter has the advantage of putting the whole thing on much firmer theoretical ground, and it will be used as a foundation for quite a few other chapters.
