So her speech isn't free as in liberty or as in beer, eh?

  So, like Java? I'd say the case was good to highlight the absurdity of it. And sometimes speaking your mind has a cost.

    Let's not conflate fundamental rights with programming languages. |And sometimes speaking your mind has a cost. Wait, you think this was acceptable? The fine for speaking is outrageous, and it will only get worse if it turns out it's not enough of a deterrent.

      Let's just say there are worse ways of paying it and that speech in this website is limited as well > Let's not conflate fundamental rights with programming languages If you r_smart you should have noticed the jest in this statement

        |If you r_smart you should have noticed the jest in this statement It's my name. I make no claims about my intellect :) It didn't read like a joke to me, and rereading it as a joke, it seems like, at best, a quip. I stand by my previous sanctimonious tone. edit: Oh, and lastly, a small curtailment on free speech is the first step to a large one. Why wait until it's illegal to complain?

    That's the point of free speech: the state shouldn't put a cost on speaking your mind.
