While issues of legality will be settled "at law", the issue of motives, and therefore, applicability to the values of the first amendment cannot be overlooked.

During the Clinton criminality, the WP and L A Times conspired to slap-sue a site that enabled people of intelligence to first pick apart their propaganda masquerading as journalism, and then secondly, disseminate the smashing analyis nationally and instantly. This greatily interfered with the setting of the national perception and understanding of events normally orchestrated by the liberal media.

During that pursuit of corruption and criminality many instances were found in the media where a story, and its related URL was pulled or altered by senior editors. Only a full-text, real-time version could preserve the evidence of the criminality and the related management of the news by the liberal media.

If that isn't related to free speech and a free press, then I wish somone would tell me what is.

Those were rare and insignificant incidents that could be handled in a number of ways. (Similar to what I explained at the beginning of #157.) They're certainly not justification for institutionalizing universal disregard for copyrights and intellectual property.
