Judge: Freedom of the Press for Commercial Use Only

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-precedent dept.

Kilroy writes "According to a Seattle judge freedom of the press only applies to paid journalists. As a result, he has indefinantly imprisoned a 70 year old former journalism professor for posting mean things on the web. I wonder how much something has to earn in order to make it legal to publish?"
