What Is Artistic Freedom?
Mike, from The London Fog, makes a nice distinction:
Not being given free government money to inflict your artistic vision on the rest of us is completely different from being threatened by the police for inflicting that vision.
He then adds the following quote,
It's easy to be brave when criticizing Bush; the silence of the arts community about human rights commission censorship suggests the only thing they're really idealistic about is free money.
Minor note: I see he mispelled "gubmnt".

Mike seems to be complaining that artists are talking about the things they want to talk about and not the things he wants to talk about.
