I could not agree with you more. The question as to
censor should of been intent, and not content. From my
understanding, the MPAA and the RIAA, in their respective
claims, are arguing content. However, since the node in
question wanted to know how it worked, not "cool, time to
rip DVD's...", censorship would be ill advised (unless under
legal threat -- to which vroom had said it would be taken
down).
As to clearly illegal items, such as warez (copying w/o
licence aproval) -- items tested though the courts and
found to be illegal -- a clear censoring would be in order.
But then, we would of downvoted it by the hundreds, and the
janitors would have to pry it out of the Node Reaper's
hands. :D

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
