No it's not. Whatever the merits of this case (and I think they have a point, though a clumsily executed one), moral relativism is not a strong case. Something's aren't right. And of they're not right...
Also I wouldn't claim any "artistic merit" defence, which a piece of literature like Lolita might be worthy of.
The Wikipedia article doesn't defend the cover. It is called controversial in its second line, then again in the caption, and so on. The cover itself was quickly modified at the time in most countries. But the fact is that it did exist and that Wikipedia is being censored for telling the story - and they're blocking text too.
Well that's another story. You should be allowed to talk about history. I don't have a problem with that particular image being blocked though.
