Danish Anti-Piracy Spokesman: "[C]-Porn is great!"

Johan Schluter of the Danish Anti-Piracy Group used the full term
referring to pornography involving young persons -- I've abbreviated
to try avoid this message being filtered out of existence.

For years I've been saying that c-porn is being used as an excuse to
deploy all manner of Internet content restrictions.  Now we can thank
Johan for explicitly admitting that this is *exactly* what the music
industry -- or at least some in the music industry -- have in mind:

   "[C]-pornography is great," the speaker at the podium declared
    enthusiastically.  "It is great because politicians understand
    [c]-pornography.  By playing that card, we can get them to act,
    and start blocking sites.  And once they have done that, we can
    get them to start blocking file sharing sites."

This fellow could have had quite a career as a Goldman Sachs executive
with that sort of insufferable attitude.

Technical term for all of these guys: "slimeballs" ...
