"In the past it was fashionable to assert that the Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it. In the current era we might say that 'Web 2.0 treats censorship as inspiration and creates performance around it.'" -- Alan Wexelblat, "Web 2.0 vs The Cartel", 2007-05-03

Less insightful/clever but still a useful reminder: "Practically any attempt to sort works of fiction into tidy piles of acceptable and unacceptable material, of course, is likely to invite controversy. Works by noted authors such as James Joyce, Henry Miller and William S. Burroughs have been lauded as masterpieces--and at other times prosecuted as obscene. -- Declan McCullagh, "Mass deletion sparks LiveJournal revolt", CNET News, 2007-05-30
