    ISPs blocking stuff ?

    Internet censorship .. in the free world. And that's probably just the beginning.

    How odd - the album cover in question dates from 1976 and has been (I assume) in the public domain for 32 years. Suddenly it's banned.

      No, it was banned at the time and the album reissued with a different cover in some countries.

      The Register article has more explanation

        However Google Images has no problem finding dozens of sites which contain the image.

          I just tested it, and my ISP appears to have banned the Wiki page.

          However a Google image search with strict safe search on displays the dodgy image as the first result.

            That's because the crazy internet police foundation (or whatever they are called) haven't blacklisted them yet...

              I just tested it and my ISP has not banned the page.

              From which I found:

              "... the controversial cover art is still provided on the deluxe boxed edition of the album sold worldwide ..."

                Does Nirvana's Nevermind album cover count as child porn?
