And I beg to differ on your definition of censorship. Ratings are censorship, insomuch as they seek to prohibit certain people in society from viewing or listening to certain material... I don't know about being "owned," either, to a later poster.

Ratings are not a type of censorship......they are pieces of tape on the cover of cd's and little black boxes in the corner of TV's to let the viewer or buyer know that there is a possibility that you may see or hear "offensive" material. If I want to hear Marilyn Manson sing about being the Anti-Christ (not that I actually do)......a little sticker isn't going to "prohibit" me from doing so.
