That's a false assumption, folks, because it *IS* possible to pretty thoroughly censor the internet. It's just that most countries have laws against such practices (to some degree or another) and/or they just don't bother.

It's no different to taping a film or song off the radio.
Greedy SOBs.

Just move the servers (website, etc.) to another country less corrupted by the copyright mafia.
