Apple has a double standard regarding content in their iTunes store

What I don't understand is that among the explicit music videos that they have, some of their music videos are edited so the cuss words are blanked out when the song by itself has all the cuss word goodness left intact, which is the way I prefer.

I emailed Apple about this yesterday...just got their response:

To ensure that all artists are treated fairly, Apple's policy is not to censor or edit artist content that may be "explicit". We are not the originators of the content; we upload the videos and movies provided to us by the originators.

By originators, I assume they mean the labels, cuz I doubt the artists would do this to their own videos.
