Copyright is a restriction on both speech and press. And, it would be occurring by a Trust established by the CA Constitution if UC ever enforced such a restriction.
Which is prohibited.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Copyright is a restriction on both speech and press. Were that so, it would be prohibited by the First Amendment. The California state protection of speech from government interference has similar scope, and does not prohibit copyrights, nor does it prohibit the state or subordinate public entities of or within the state from either enforcing state copyright law (which exists) or exercising copyrights that they own.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoThe California Constitution is extremely clear. No one may restrict the freeness of anyone's speech and especially not any law. If UC uses its lawful property ownership powers (or any other) to restrict someone's speech, it has acted contrary to the CA Constitution.

(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
