I think Internet censorship is great, because it pushes technologies like Bittorrent and Tor into the mainstream, which improves those technologies.  Every time someone uses one of those tools to do something silly like download a song or look at pictures of 17-year-old-girls, we are getting closer and closer to an Internet that the governments can't meddle with.  When information can flow freely without consequence from the organizations in power, society can advance.  Imagine how much more useful information will end up on Wikileaks when the leaker can truly be anonymous and safe from the established power structure their action is hurting.  It will be very good for society as a whole.  (And there is the whole issue of "Tor is just for child pornographers".  When you have to use it to see the New York Times, nobody will think that anymore.)<p>Anyway, Internet censorship is just something that looks good in the headlines, but it is not a real issue.  These technical measures are easy to get around, and will keep getting easier. (When I was in China, I just ssh'd to my home machine to browse websites that the Great Firewall blocked.  Oh yeah, damn the global nature of the Internet...)
