Hands off the Internet" (Comment & Analysis, Thursday) uses unfounded assertions to criticize important legislation in Congress that protects America's innovators and job creators. The Washington Times claims that the Stop Online Piracy Act would allow "federal bureaucrats to censor the Internet." But there is no language in the act that would allow anyone to "censor the Internet." Enforcing our intellectual property laws against foreign criminals is not censorship.
Of thee they sing Bands that "fight the power" and speak of their views on corrupt governments ["Terrell's Tune-Up: It can't happen here? Right.", Feb. 1] seem to get all the attention. Music is a very powerful tool to reach people. So communist governments think regulating the music industry and controlling what people listen to will help their cause for a totalitarian society. Can it happen here in America? Censorship in our country only goes as far as a parental advisory label on the cover of a CD case. Our country is theoretically based on freedom. It is written in the Bill of Rights and therefore, this could not happen in our country. I would like to think that it is my freedom to listen to the music I want to.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wants to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine ("Pelosi's 'Fairness,' " Politics, Inside Politics, Thursday). Be forewarned: If we wake up the day after Election Day and Sen. Barack Obama is the president-elect of the United States, this will be first on her list of things to do. The irony is that the so-called Fairness Doctrine will not be fair at all, but censorship by in America - our guaranteed right under the First Amendment. Liberals do not have a message of hope that conveys to us as Americans that we can aspire to be anything we choose. They have no message that attracts people to their party, but only a dismal vision that government will take care of our every need with one caveat - the loss of our individual freedom.

With Iranians marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Republic with another round of protests, it is time for China to align its Iran policy with the long-term interests of the Iranian people. Yet, sadly, as a rising superpower China is treating Iran as a bargaining chip in a great game against the United States. In recent weeks, China's support for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has assumed a decidedly anti-American tone. Echoing Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, the People's Daily, the chief organ of the Chinese Communist Party, attributed the mass protests against Iran's rigged presidential elections as "an instance of naked political scheming" by the United States. Coming in the aftermath of its clash with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Google over censorship a...
In 1992 James Danky, Wayne Wiegand, and Carl Kaestle founded the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The study of print culture was then a new field represented by scholars from many disciplines, including American studies, history, library and information studies, and literary studies. Stimulated by initiatives of the American Antiquarian Society and the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, most research covered the northeast of the United States in the period before 1876, but Wisconsin's new center aimed to encourage research into more recent time periods, and broader areas, a well as into the print culture of marginalized groups whose gender, race, class, creed, occupation, ethnicity, and sexual orientation have...

When Robert Bork was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1987, his surname turned into a verb: Senate Democrats, notably Ted Kennedy and today's vice president, trashed the guy as somebody who'd force women into back-alley abortions and blacks into segregated lunch- counters. His America, said Kennedy, is one of censorship; of rogue police breaking down citizens' doors in the middle of the night. He got "Borked" -- and rejected, 58-42. To our way of thinking, it shouldn't have been for his philosophy: Bork's complicity, as Solicitor General, in Richard Nixon's 1973 "Saturday Night Massacre" -- firing Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox after Attorney General Eliot Richardson and deputy Bill Ruckelshaus resigned rather than do it -- should have been reason enough.
Martin Arostegui's article on the increased media censorship and repression occurring in Latin America is disturbing ("Morales, Correa target TV foes," Page 1, Thursday). Clearly, Bolivian President Evo Morales and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa have drawn support and inspiration from the likes of the Castro brothers and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. In Cuba, the second-largest prison for journalists in the world, the treatment of foreign and Cuban journalists is appalling. More than 23 independent Cuban journalists are imprisoned, and the regime censors or expels foreign journalist who report unfavorably on the regime. Earlier this year, a correspondent from Mexico's El Universal was told to leave, a Chicago Tribune correspondent's credentials to report from the island were not...
