I dont' think Colin's words were a moral judgement--they did properly
reflect how such restrictions affect morale and people's willingess to
work for an employer. Depends entirely on the employees though.
I know where I work, if people were unable to listen to music while
they worked because of some corporate edit they'd all find somewhere
else to work.
