It was first publicized that Pearl Jam's performance at Lollapalooza was stripped of anti-Bush lyrics. AT&T tried to deny the censorship. Then evidence turned up that a number of other artists have been censored as well, including Nightwatchman (Tom Morello), Lupe Fiasco, Tom Petty, Lily Allen, Ozomatli, John Butler Trio, and flaming lips.
AT&T finally admitted the practice and vowed to stop it. Tiffany O'Brien Nels, AT&T's Austin, Texas-based spokeswoman, said "It's not our intent to edit political comments in Webcasts on the Blue Room. Unfortunately, it has happened in the past in a handful of cases. We have taken steps to insure that it will not happen again."
