No. You are censored if you are not free to voice or propagate your own opinion. The term isn't being inflated, it is a perfectly suitable term. I am not allowed under the DMCA/EUCD to distribute my work that circumvents immoral barriers for using software, or in other ways using digital media that has been encumbered by these immoral barriers that I have on my computer. Inflating this term to also mean the stopping of copying of other works will only desensitize people to real censorship. Nothing is being inflated. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
