Well, apparently, you're not the only one who thinks net neutrality and
the AT&T/Pearl Jam "censorship" nonsense is related:

  "In the interview, Copps followed other network neutrality supporters
   in seizing on the incident as a prime example of the need for
   government regulation of companies like AT&T, in order to prevent
   them from censoring political speech on the larger Internet. This is
   in spite of the fact that from a purely technical standpoint, AT&T's
   censorship of Vedder on its own webcast, which is technically content
   that AT&T "owns" and is responsible for, has little apparent
   connection to network neutrality. After all, not even the most ardent
   net neutrality proponent would suggest that a company shouldn't be
   able to censor its own streaming webcasts—content that it funded and
   that it owns."

But I still maintain that confusing the two - censorship and network
neutrality - is dangerous. To do so simply obscures the real issues that
lay behind the slogan.
