Re: Free speach

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Sure, I think we should be talking about things like EA Games pressuring publishers not to run critical reviews, or tobacco industry pressure on TV Networks in the 70s and 80s.

However, often "free speech" is trotted out in fandom for examples like:

1. A big-name publisher didn't buy my last book. "Free speech!"
2. You can't ban me from commenting, "free speech!"
3. Boycotting my works is censorship, "free speech!"

#1 and #2 are actually covered by first amendment protections as editorial privilege. (See the Zimmerman Trial for prior art leading to that principle.) #3 falls under the penumbra of the First Amendment via NAACP v. Alabama, and was a form of protest used by the founding fathers (such as they were.)
