This isn't really ISP censorship. AT&T is an ISP, but in this case, they
were acting as a broadcaster.

Whether or not you agree with what AT&T did, the fact is that, as a
broadcaster/publisher of a concert, they have every right to edit it as they
see fit. Was it a stupid thing to do? Yes, if just because it's a horrible
PR move. Was it *ISP* censorship? No, because they weren't editing a
third-party site so their subscribers get different content than the rest of
the world.
