## What Jamie wrote

This seems like a good idea to me. Would be useful to tell people when censorship is occurring as well.

<blockquote>
This document specifies an additional Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code for use when resource access is denied for legal reasons. This allows server operators to operate with greater transparency in circumstances where issues of law or public policy affect their operation. This transparency may be beneficial both to these operators and to end users.
