Freedom of expression includes freedom to choose.

But perhaps you were not aware that shortly after the IGS controversy
erupted, there were several sites (in Canada and elsewhere) that offered
to act as "mirror sites" for the censored web pages.  EFC really doesn't
need to play this role, since there are so many other people willing
to act as "data havens" for challenged material.

Take a look, for instance, at the following URL:

	http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/3392/

Neat, eh?
