why should music NOT be censored?

Because parents should be responsible for their children. Why change our music because they are irresponsible and can't control their kids. If you dont like the music..... dont listen to it!!!!

It is not illegal. Sharing music, is not and should not be illegal.

Yes ... since I answerd a question and had the Herman Mellvile book "MOBY DICK" in the answer ... and it gets censored too. (see!!!!) The censor program is just looking for certain words not the content or context.  Too Bad!\n\nBut this is their ballpark, and we gotta play by their rules!!

If radio didnt exist how would the songs get heard.Thats how we hear the music,then we have the right to like it or turn it off.We also get to hear the latest in emergency situations including severe weather conditions,alternate routes in case certain roads hazzards suddenly occur and many many more purposes.I hope this helps.

More people will listen to it if it's good.  Don't use bots, that's so incredibly frustrating and annoying to EVERYONE, and nobody will listen to your music if you do it that way.

Absolutely not. It's necessary to protect the right to free unbiased information. This applies for free speech as well. There's no such thing as the right to censor something to protect something else. About movies, they should come all in UNRATED version, with option to censor through the DVD player those parts children shouldn't see.\nSomething else: those who claim that the so-called "hate speech" should be banned don't really believe in free speech, or at least don't understand the concept.

I don't agree with censoring certain things.  Personally, I don't like rotten.com, so I don't go there.  It's not my thing, but I don't see any reason to take it away from people who enjoy it.  I supervise my child online, so she doesn't see things like this.  But, I do think that there should be some age verification in place for sites like this one.  Most of them rely too much on the honor system for my liking.  \n\nI don't mind adults having access to adult themes and abult subjects online, but I think that parents do need a little help with keeping kids away from it.  The majority of the responsibility falls on me, as a parent; but I'd like some safeguards from the company as well.

Because of the many different musical tastes at my parties, we usually just end up listening to the radio.  Old fashioned it may seem but the channel can be changed easily and it is edited for some people that don't like cuss words.  You can just turn it on and let it play- it's easy enough for anyone to change at their pleasure.

In general, yes, it bans freedom of speech.  If, however, a company (say a privately owned nightclub) refuses to play a song within its doors because it does not like the messages in the song, the club's owners are within *their* rights to do so.  Does that ban creativity?  Not really, since the club owners aren't telling the artist that he/she can never play it or record it anywhere.  They aren't silencing the artist, they're merely not supporting them.  Now if the government showed up at the doors of the artist and forbid them from having anything ever to do with the song, that would be spitting on freedom of speech.  There's the difference.

No, in hte USA there is freedom of speech, even if that speech is hateful, explicit, or foul, it still exists.  Retailers have the right themselves to exclude or include cd's with explicit lyrics as do the consumer in purchasing their cds.

Yes, I do think there are songs that encourage bad behavior.  You are what you expose yourself to...I don't think parents should allow their kids to own any kind of offensive material...ESPECIALLY music...!?!  Music is memorable...what kind of memories does these kinds of word-pictures instill in impressionable minds?

It really depends on what part of the inernet your on. If it is a forum board moderators and creators censor the content. If your talking about something more along the lines of a login business class environment there will be webmasters and programs that will censor your material. Overall though the internet is not controlled or fully censored, it just isn't possible.

Songs don't directly hurt anyone. I guess they fall under freedom of speech. Spanking a child, even though I think it's sometimes necessary, is hurting someone.\nI guess that's how the law might see it.

No, it should not be censored. Internet is one of the freedoms of expression and, quite frankly, it is a person's fault if he or she accidentally entered a site which the person does not like!

with every new type of music created there are people who will say its obscene or awful for one reason or another. just look at how Elvis was only shown from the waist up durin TV interview because his dancing was somehow extreamly sexual. People even thought a "syncopayted" beat would make teens lose their inhibitions...it didnt. Older people almost always think young peoples music is a "sin." Dont listen to them
