Follow-up: EBay Admits It Messed Up in Censoring Anti-Bush Artist
From The Progressive's aptly-named McCarthyism Watch:
After Canadian artist John Steins posted his "Axis of Weasels Art Cards" on eBay in July, the company removed his listing, telling him it violated the company's policy on using the names or likenesses of individuals without their permission.
A furor erupted in Canada over this apparent censorship.
Steins did not go quietly. He and other web users raised a stink about his apparent censorship by eBay. And Steins was interviewed twice on CBC radio to discuss his case. (He was on "Sounds Like Canada" and "As It Happens," which are comparable to NPR's "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered.")
On August 8, eBay contacted Steins and relented.
