"Victims of verbal attacks may get overcome with the attacks and strike out against them physically."
So restrict free speech? With what? Violence? It's OK to offend people. That's life. If someone wants to get violent because of words, they are the real problem.
I value the speech that I disagree with the most. Sure, there are limits, you cant threaten someone because you don't like what they said, but that's about it.
Even the standard "fire in a theater" example is BS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyoOfRog1EM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyoOfRog1EM
On the technical point, either you decide what can be printed with DRM or you don't. It's as binary as it gets. It's the war on general purpose computing distilled. Either way, the "hackers" (now criminals if DRM wins) will still be able to print whatever they want.
