@Andras: yours is an accurate observation, thanks for your comments. That principle seems to heavily underpin all on-line censorship systems as it's fostered by the character of virtuality of Internet networks.

It also seems to be a dangerously recursive process, as showed by the "Transparency Report" by Google which is itself censored (ex, they can not show China statistics): http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/governmentrequests/

@Collin: I hope the same. In any case I very much appreciate the fact that a simple work like this can stimulate discussion. Matju observations are moving the conversation onto other interesting insights.

This is an amazing observation, and it is evidence that it might not be a good idea to spend too much energy trying to suppress a creative impulse. Not that suppression was Mattieu's intention, this little gem may owe it's existence to his criticism! I just hope artists will have the courage to follow through with their impulses, even though they may face some unsympathetic criticism.

Just don't not do it,
