Well done. Very well done. I'm not sure why Brock is constructing this hard-drinking bad-boy persona (perhaps he's trying to become the Trent Reznor of crypto journalism), but the piece was great. This work sends a very clear message (which is obvious to cypherpunks, but not to the pro-censorship side): that in practice, what exactly gets censored has a lot more to do with politics, and a lot less to do with the original good intentions of the pro-censorship forces, than appears on the surface. There's no reason to believe that government-sponsored censorship would be any more carefully done than the privately available software packages of today. In fact, there is ample evidence to believe the contrary; these programs are subject to the discipline of the marketplace. Sorry for the mini-rant. Keep up the good work. Raph
