Comics Code Dead

I knew about the Movie Code from the 1930s-50s. It stifled movie creativity, and required that women be subservient to men, or that an evil person ALWAYS wound-up dead or jailed. I thought such nonsense had long ago been abolished and didn't realize "the code" had been revived to stifle comic book creativity.
I consider this a perfect example of what happens when you ignore the Supreme law of the land: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press....." "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution... are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The US Government has zero authority to censor movies or books.

I thought users get to access the MPEG codecs for free. And GIF is now public domain?
