These people are no better then the book burners in the Nazi empire (yay Godwin) or the extreme Christians who burned books.

They're not stopping you from listening to the song, just not playing in on the radio unedited. Huge difference there. To compare it to Nazi empire is juvenile, all you got to do is look how easy it is to get the full song to see how asinine that comment is.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/dire-straits/id648427 A buck 29 is all it will cost you and no one would care if you played it in your car or at home. That's a huge difference to the censorship you're trying to perceive this as and with some of these comments I would expect to have found out that Dire Straits have been sent up north to some Gulag.
Also, why did you edit out that word in the last sentence? Is it because of those wimpy CP owners?
I don't agree with the decision either, I just realize this isn't something to get our panties in a bunch over the same way I don't cry everytime I watch a movie on TV that's been "edited for content." As long as there's some reasonable way for me to watch/read/listen to the original I don't think it's a big fuss.
And now to be completely hypocritical, if there should be a thread on censorship I think it should be about the new edition of The Adventures of Hucklebery Finn that has replaced the word ###### with Slave.
