Censorship

As I first posted in my comments on an artists work, I'm a little puzzled and concerned. My issue is with, for lack of a better description, the decency standards in the sites Cof C. I understand why they're in place, and will respect them. I respectfully disagree however, on the extent perhaps in which they're enforced.

The artwork in question was a pool scene, and it featured Sim-like characters. Mind you, I didn't see the original, but the artist having to re-edit his or her work to place clothing not originally intented to be there seems a bit much.

The question I posed, then, is this:
If I take a picture, or somehow otherwise portray artwork such as a classical Greek statue, known in many cases to be typically nude, am I then obligated to process those images so that they're clothed?

Please, I'd welcome any answers, regardless of point of view.

Thanks, Rob (third_eye)
