iSONEWS Censored By Sega

If I am not wrong, in the U.S. we have freedom of speech, yet Sega is threatening to sue a news site for posting news on releases of illegal Dreamcast games. iSONEWS announced that it has closed its Dreamcast section because of several threatening letters from Sega's attorney. Is this limiting freedom of speech, or is it suggesting illegal activity? There are no actual illegal files on the Web site, just information on when releases of these things start showing up. They are definitely not seeing all of these releases; how does iSONEWS even know if these are being released?" The correspondence makes for good reading.
