["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

Amazing.  Network Solutions censors a Web site about a movie that they and
almost no one has viewed yet.

Network Solutions shutters anti-Islam film site

Network Solutions has suspended a Web site that a Dutch lawmaker was using
to promote a yet-to-be-released film critical of Islam. 
The Web hosting service said it is investigating whether content on the site
(http://www.fitnathemovie.com/) is in violation of the hosting service's
acceptable use policy. 

The 15-minute movie, called Fitna--an Arabic word that means "test of faith
in times of trial"--describes Islam as "the enemy of freedom," according to
comments made by Geert Wilders, a Dutch lawmaker and the film's maker. Dutch
officials fear the movie could spark violence, as happened after Danish
newspapers published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The movie is set for
release at month's end.

Wilders had been using the site to promote the movie, but the site was
pulled after the Web-hosting company said it received a "number of
complaints" regarding the site.
