- This is obviously bullshit. I wanna know who bribed or manipulated AT&T. First of all, they knew Pearl Jam was political and would have those lyrics so why have them in the first places if they're gonna be pussys about it?!
It's so frustrating.

- Mistake my ass, they are in control and realize if they cannot get control of the information flow in the Internet, they have nothing.

- How do you feel about censorship? Do you realize how much what we currently see and hear - and more importantly - do NOT see or hear - is controlled for us by the paternalistic system we have created for ourselves?
Perhaps it is time we decided to "grow up" and start wanting to know the whole truth so we can make our own decisions?
From the page: "Advocates of Internet neutrality see AT&T's censorship of Pearl Jam as an example of what may lie in store for all of us if Congress gives in to the big corporate players and does not ensure a level playing field on the worldwide web.

Find the uncut version that is almost 2 hrs. Well worth the time to finally know the truth.

- AT&T Censors Pearl Jam:
"AT&T was carrying Pearl Jam's August 5 Lollapalooza performance live--or apparently live--on the company's "Blue Room" music site when listeners weren't able to hear some key political lyrics from Eddie Vedder.
These included "George Bush, leave this world alone," and "George Bush, find yourself another home," according to the Pearl Jam website and the Chicago Tribune, which broke the story on August 9.
"This, of course, troubles us as artists but also as citizens concerned with the issue of censorship and the increasingly consolidated control of the media," Pearl Jam said on its website.
"AT&T's actions strike at the heart of the public's concerns over the power that corporations have when it comes to determining what the public sees and hears through communications media. . . . What happened to us this weekend was a wake up call, and it's about something much bigger than the censorship of a rock band.""
