    What I am trying to say is ultimately in response to this: > You really should have a reason why Disney movies should be censored from the internet, but Chinese dissident materials should not be. Disney movies should be "censored" from the internet because countries which respect copyright ought to enforce such. Chinese dissident materials should not be "censored" from the internet because Chinese dissidents presumably have a right to free speech. This is the Western perspective, as I understand it. I am pointing out the difference between the two scenarios and not necessarily endorsing the Western perspective.
