I remember watching a VH1 or maybe it was a History Channel documentary about either the computer or the internet and they said when they first had internet at colleges and/or universities, computer geeks used to send porn to each other but the only problem was their computer was like only 2K bite of memory so the picture was made up of text characters like "X's" and "O's" And I was wondering like if the professors at the colleges and/or universities got hold of what they were doing then they might of tried to put a stop to it - aka censorship. It was a documentary I vaguely remember and I forgot what decade, it could had been the 80's.

I know of a couple of similar stories of censorship. Like I was watching how they made the album by The Doors and the story goes like the producer on the Ed Sullivan show didn't want Jim Morrison to say "Baby we can't much higher" He wanted Jim to sing "Baby we can't get much better you dig." But Jim Morrison sang it anyway, much ot the chagrin of the Ed Sullivan Show producer. And then after the show the producer yelled at The Doors saying they would never ever do the Ed Sullivan show again and then Jim Morrison retorted "Hey Man, I just did the Ed Sullivan Show."
