## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

Tim Bray brought this draft to the HTTP Working Group some time ago, because he (and many others) thought it was important to highlight online censorship; the 403 status code says "Forbidden", but it doesn't say "I can't show you that for legal reasons." Hence, 451 (which is also a great tip of the hat to Ray Bradbury).
