==Music censorship==
In ancient Greece, Plato mentioned music in the context of restricting or censoring it.
I heard that the Nazis banned the first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, because dit-dit-dit-dah is [[Morse Code]] for "V" (meaning victory), and the resistance was using this [[motif]] to rally the citizenry.
Christians and Conservatives tried to get certain [[rap music]] banned, such as those with cop-killer or women-hating lyrics. (You know, bees and hoes.) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:14, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
