Hello,
I'm a college student currently working on a paper examining the PMRC as a lobbying group. I started checking your sources to see if this website would be reliable enough to cite in a scholarly work and I noticed that you lifted the entire last paragraph of the "PMRC" section of your page from the 15th page of this article-- http://www.philagora.org/about-the-world/pmrc15.htm
These are heavy accusations to make-- they might very well have stolen the information from you. However, you used the exact words again in your outline, which makes it a bit more suspicious.
Anyway, I don't know who runs this page, when this paper was written, or for what school the project was done, but to the reader-- please do a quick search if you plan on using any quotes from this page, anywhere, to make sure you know whose words you're actually using. It's great that this knowledge about censorship is being distributed but it's also important that all of the people whose words have been used get credit for their thoughts.
