PEN American Center - Is There Censorship? ''I think that censorship is the biggest danger that could confront this country, aside from physical attack,'' Richard Seaver, the editor in chief of Arcade Publishing, said in a recent interview in his comfortably cluttered Manhattan office. The Treasury office ruled that the institute could edit a manuscript from a country under embargo, and engage in peer review, but that making any ''substantive or artistic alterations or enhancements of the manuscript'' would be illegal without a license. Ebadi raised the censorship question in an Op-Ed article in The Times last month (which she could publish because newspapers are exempt from some of the regulations). www.pen.org /page.php/prmID/339   (2005 words)

EPIC Alert 6.02 (2/3/99) However, the Court is acutely cognizant of its charge under the law of this country not to protect the majoritarian will at the expense of stifling the rights embodied in the Constitution.

Censored: Wielding the Red Pen - Introduction Wearing many masks, censorship has appeared in our living rooms under the names "national security," "classification," and "selective inclusion." Books have been removed from shelves or never been published at all. This prevalence of the red pen in a country founded on the Bill of Rights suggests that most people consider some things or ideas too dangerous or offensive to be made widely available. Every day some form of censorship occurs in the United States. www.lib.virginia.edu /small/exhibits/censored/intro.html   (309 words)

Press censorship Whichever way you look at it, the latest ban on foreign journalists visiting Indonesia's conflict zones is but an initial attempt of the regime to reimpose media censorship. In the absence of any independent verification by journalists, news from East Timor then was so heavily distorted that no one outside the territory really knew the truth. Thanks to this complete news blackout, the world knew little about what really happened in Irian Jaya and East Timor, a territory Jakarta acquired by force in 1975, for much of the 1970s and 1980s. www.campeace.org /WParchive/press_censorship.htm   (309 words)

Can a US Company be sued in another country for advertising illegal items? - Graffë Forums General rule of doing business in another country - every thing you possess in that country is completely subject to the laws and whims of that country, stuff you possess outside of that country is very difficult for them to get to.

Its the fact that French people dont bother to use their own website and go to the more popular American/English language version of Yahoo which is based in America.....which does comply with American Laws. www.graffe.com /forums/showthread.php?t=30056&page=1   (2324 words)

"Self-Censorship" - The New Ghoul Haunting Palestinian Journalists However, when a journalist retorted that "man doesn't live by bread alone," the officer didn't hesitate to tell him "you can search for another country where you can have these freedoms readily available." Self-censorship is the worst kind of censorship because it thrives on hypocrisy, sycophancy, and mendacity. There are no 'censorship officers "standing threateningly over editors' heads, ordering them what and what not to print. www.phrmg.org /monitor1997/jan97-1.htm   (1399 words)

Freedom House: Press Freedom Survey 1999: Country Ratings - Press Freedom Worldwide (January 1, 1999) Censorship is unpredictable and intimidation and harassment of journalists frequent, leading to self-censorship. The faint, occasional relaxation of press controls was followed by crackdowns, thereby continuing to intimidate the few domestic journalists attempting to press for a further opening. Bolivia Journalists are still bound by the 1925 press law, under which it is a criminal offense punishable by up to two years in prison to defame or slander public officials (the sentence can be doubled if the official in question is the president, vice president, or a cabinet minister). www.freedomhouse.org /pfs99/reports.html   (2069 words)

FEN Newswire: Landmark college press censorship ruling In doing so, the court rejected the lower court's application of a high school-based censorship standard to expression by American college students. "Nearly 13 years to the day after the Supreme Court allowed school officials greater censorship authority over the expression of many high school students, the court today has drawn a clear and strong line saying that such censorship must stop at the college gate," said Student Press Law Center Executive Director Mark Goodman. Kuhlmeier decision should also guide judges when determining the amount of legal protection for expression on the country's public college and university campuses. www.freeexpression.org /newswire/0110_2001.htm   (2069 words)

Taiwan Taiwan Television Enterprise (TTV), the first network, was established in 1962 with a significant transfer of Japanese expertise and an initial 40% investment by the four leading Japanese electronic firms. Certainly, the phenomenal cable growth in Taiwan from 18% of market penetration in 1991 to 50% in 1993 and the current 76% coincides with the economic well-being of the country. In order to claim its political legitimacy over local Taiwanese politics, for example, the KMT government pronounced Mandarin as the official language in Taiwan end restricted the use of Fukienese to only 20% of television programming, despite the fact that it was used by the vast majority of the population in the 1960s. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/T/htmlT/taiwan/taiwan.htm   (2069 words)

The censorship of music in Afghanistan The effects of censorship of music in Afghanistan are deep and wide ranging for the Afghans, both inside and outside the country. All musical instruments are banned, and when discovered by agents of the Office for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice are destroyed, sometimes being burnt in public along with confiscated audio and video cassettes, TV sets and VCRs (all visual representation of animate being is also prohibited). Music was an integral part of many rites of passage, such as celebrations of birth, circumcision (male only), and most important of all, marriage. www.rawa.org /music.htm   (812 words)

Music Censorship If this type of censorship is to be allowed then it should be mandatory for all styles of music including rap, rock, randb, country, opera, and any other type of music that contain explicit lyrics. According to the definition of music censorship parental advisory labels are a form of censorship because the stickers are controlling who can, who will, who cannot, and who won’t buy an album. Music can mean different things to different people, but the fact remains that music plays a major role in everyday life.One person may enjoy the sounds of classical music while their neighbor may enjoy hard-core gangsta rap. www.louisville.edu /~rajord02/musiccensorship.htm   (153 words)

Refused Classification-Film Censorship in Australia The eventual aim is to provide a detailed history of film censorship in Australia since the introduction of the R18+ rating in 1971. Censorship before this point was just too widespread to even attempt to cover. It is worth noting that because this is a history of censorship, many titles that are listed as being cut or banned in the past would now easily pass with R18+ or even MA15+ ratings. www.refused-classification.com   (881 words)

Taiwan xiangtu wenxue Narratively, this takes place as the logical and cumulative outcome of the young colonial's experiences since leaving Taiwan: the calamities suffered by his village through the land enclosure practised by the Japanese sugar cartel in Taiwan (41), the suicide of his mother, and his own pathos as colonial in the mother country. These events, advancing in linear progression and interspersed with flashbacks of the protagonist's village life before he left his village in Taiwan, constitute a factual recording of events in line with the "perceptive, intellectual function" prescribed to literature, and are also a reminder of the close connection between narrative and historiography in China (40). Taiwan's stylistic and modal orientation during the colonial period served to link its new vernacular with the longer tradition in China. nacrp.cic.sfu.ca /nacrp/articles/haddonmm/haddonmmtext.html   (1661 words)

Rap, Rock, and Censorship (Mathieu Deflem) The case of music censorship poignantly illustrates that the boundaries of law can be transgressed in various ways, in the case of music censorship perhaps most remarkably by law enforcement officials. Armstrong’s (1993) analysis of violence in music lyrics revealed that there is just as much violence in country as in rap, and concludes that the differences between the two musical styles are overstated. While acknowledging that music can influence behavior, that it affects young people in particular, that the style of music and performers has changed, and that some parents are genuinely concerned, the labeling of records signifies a deprivation for all because of the concerns of a few. www.cas.sc.edu /socy/faculty/deflem/zzcens97.htm   (16618 words)

IFEX :: Index on Censorship, the quarterly magazine on freedom of expression, has devoted its latest issue to America, a country where free speech is considered sacred yet now appears "inconvenient or unpatriotic" in the wake of September 11. Other articles in Index on Censorship's issue include stories on the U.S. government's free-speech restrictions in post-Saddam Iraq, the American media's reporting of the Iraqi war and freedom of expression on university campuses. With hundreds of formerly independent radio and television stations, record companies and concert venues now owned by such media giants as AOL Time Warner, Viacom and News Corporation, musicians are under more pressure to play it safe and avoid controversial content. www.ifex.org /en/content/view/full/52947   (572 words)
