Looks like
they're using the 'tags' idea already.
From their page titled, Our rules;
http://www.jamendo.com/us/static/engagements/
"We are committed to exclude all "explicit" content
(sex, racism,
) both in the music and in the
advertisements."
A predominant theme behind this conversation has
been
Freedom. Yes or no? The statement from the
Jamendo
rules is not something that anyone who values
freedom
would ever enforce upon anyone. Unless that person
is
just to ignorant or naive to get it. To the
defense
of
the Jamendo organizers maybe they are just
dumbasses
and not nazi's, fascists or fucking pigs of
whatever
flavor is in favor. And that's about the best
defense
they deserve.
There is no integrity in censorship. The Jamendo
crew
can kiss my American ass.

So you're telling us that you can value freedom and
be a racist or a
sexist at the same time?
That is correct.
I stand for your right to say anything you want
whether it be racist or sexist does not constitue an
exception. I argue for your right to speak out against
anything you find objectionable including racism and
sexism. I stand in defense of your freedom to speak
your mind.
If you do not allow someone to be sexist or racist
then you value your judgment as being greater than
freedom. And to excersize your judgement requires you
to assume power over another human.
I do not require governance to deal with racism in
speech. I affirm my strength as a free thinking human
without laws that control me and put you into a
position of power. I am born with dignity, I want to
keep it and use it.
Do you think individuals lack the ability to speak
against racism?
And you really believe that if you want you can
administer a service
like jamendo avoiding any kind of censorship without
considering any
legality issue?
I'm trying to be calm.
What does your calm have to do with anything? Is that
a threat in cloak; be careful or I'll lose my calm and
unleash my special brand of hell upon you. If that's
the case and you support the governance of free speech
then you are exactly the kind of person I fear and
fight.
If that statement is to say, I'm trying to remain calm
in order to discuss something then we freely debate.
It's not within my power to interpret your meaning as
it applies to the interests of this community and to
construct a fuckin' rule. It is your opportunity and
right to make your meaning clear and known to
everyone. This isn't the greatest example of U.S. free
speech in practice but it's an example.
