Posted The reason why I thought about this: was the thread about his spoken CD, Warning this contains language, and how that person was having issues getting it to his Ipod, or whatnot. Does Gaiman have a stance on sensorship and downloading music and stuff for free? He seems like a liberal person to me, but, does he take a public standpoint on anything like this? Being a very media person, seems like he would. ------------------------------ (Grrr.... YAHR!) "I remember when I used to be really into nostalgia."-Demetri Martin

Posted Hide Post Well, yes, he was awarded the CBLDF's "Defender of Freedom" award some time ago..... There's a HUGE difference between Censorship and Copyright protection. The two are no where near the same. _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town.

Chiaroscuro It's like an Oreo cookie, only not Member	Posted Hide Post Sorry, yes, you are right. I'm just curious for no reason at all: What's his stance on both, is my real question? ------------------------------ (Grrr.... YAHR!)
