Dear Tim,

Searching Amazon and iTunes for "In the Name of the Holocaust" turns up the expected assortment of CDs (e.g., Margaret Len Tan's Daughters of the Lonesome Isle on New Albion) with the track lists unaltered and uncensored. I don't mean to dismiss the experience you're having as you try and upload your recordings, but I find it hard to believe that "no discussion is possible".

Informing customer support at any of these services that 20th century classical works are being filtered out/blocked should result in action; you might get faster results using twitter to their accounts with words known to excite the Internet such as censorship, banned, et al.

Eric

this may be more a matter of economic concerns than political [if
previous poster's assertion regarding copyright is true]. which does not
make the censorship any less odious or more odious in my opinion. it's
just that our masters are now more concerned with money than with politics.

if you define "better" to mean increasing corporate profits, then the
world is a far better place now than it has ever been.

if you have other opinions, well, look out for the thought police!
