Censorship in this context appears to be bypassing blocks on pirating software, movies, etc. The screenshot shows the web page title of "Download music, movies, games, and software." The toolbar buttons are for piracy related sites. The name of the product is even PirateBrowser.
Censorship to me has a different meaning. Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet or other controlling body [1]

- expr-- 13y agoNope. Censorship in this context means denying access to certain host names from all people (in certain countries), regardless of what they would've done had they been able to access the host name. (This procedure could be rephrased as suppression of public communication which is considered objectionable, harmful and inconvenient.) The following is irrelevant, but I'm quite sure The Pirate Bay has links to liberally licensed music, as well as movies, games and other software. Circumventing the censorship has the usual meaning, i.e. allowing this said access once again.
- aqme28 13y agoHow does that not fit your definition? Most governments consider piracy websites objectionable, and try to censor them. The PirateBrowser was created by pirates, but isn't necessarily for them.
