AT&T Jams Pearl Jam
AT&T blames this incident on an overzealous "junior content monitor," but Eddie and co. are right on in their Response that the sponsor's censorship of their webcast has far broader implications than a one-time case of poor judgment.
This stuff scares me, and makes me wonder if we are heading towards the gov't I saw portrayed (albiet in Britain) in "V for Vendetta." I saw the Beastie Boys last night in Central Park, and the show was for a benefit for the environment. The performers stayed away from political commentary, but I'd like to think that if they had, it'd be heard, as it was intended. When corporations make decisions about what people need to hear, with $ signs the motivation, a few are more secure in their fiscal riches, but we're all poorer otherwise (how melodramatic!).
