If I was against exposure to such music (I'm not for it, per se) I personally would much rather do that than to buy such music and then censor it: a) it may change the meaning of the song; b) it still supports the artists that put out such work.

I agree, I would rather not buy the stuff and not support artists like that, but the problem is the songs that are on the radio sometimes are not the same on the albums or downloaded music. In the store a CD will have a label saying it has "adult content" on it, but most songs I purchase over the internet don't have that warning. So I bought the song and Napster will not do returns on songs (I tried). The only thing left to do is to edit the bad words out of the song or not let them listen to it. My kids prefer me to edit the song...
