To those crying “censorship”…
Okay, if you go by the strict definition, the blocking of a website could be considered censorship. However, do you get upset when spammers are blocked? Viruses? Hackers? That’s censorship if we go by your definition. If you think blocking those particular illegal sites is okay but blocking pirate sites is not, that shows all you’re truly worried about is losing your ability to get something for free.

For those who would tell me I’m only worried about money, well, don’t you want to get paid for your work? Also, I have stories that I wrote for charity, and stories I sold at a flat rate (no royalties) for anthologies, and I fight just as hard to get those files removed as I do for my royalty-paying ones, so don’t tell me it’s all about the money.
