Do you think people who choose to buy this thug's albums are guilty of censorship?

I'm not disputing that the private entity doesn't have the right to pick and choose who they want to financially support. I don't have a problem with that at all.
What I do have a problem with is the hypocrisy in choosing to draw the line in this case and expressing moral indignation for, as SportsJunky coughed, alleged actions against Rhiahahahanana while ignoring or brushing off the stuff other artists have been accused or guilty of.
Energy 101 uses a song by Shaggy on their latest TV spot. Shaggy was accused of sexual assault (and later cleared). He has a criminal record just like a buttload of other artists they play. Heck, Energy 101's webpage currently has a picture of Chad Kroeger and Britney Spears as part of their logo banner. The former is guilty of impaired driving and the latter has had her own children taken away because she was an unfit parent.
