I understand that freedom of speach is a right as given by the US governement to it's citizens, I also understand that your saying freedom of contract is a right given as well, while I'm not familar with this right, I'm not contesting it. The problem is that, as far as I know, a Minor (generally 18 years old) cannot enter a legally binding contract in most?/some?/all? states. I do know that a minor cannot enter a legally binding contract here in MO untill age 18. Thus a Minor cannot sign away the rights that have been bestowed apon him/her per the US government. I see the free speech argument standing as a result of this...
This will prolly get modded to a troll, but I used to go to DARE meetings to buy pot from other members. However, no-one (in DARE) was into "harder" drugs. So maybe it did maybe it didn't, make your own assumptions out of that.

Of course napster users tend to buy more CD's. I'm a napster user and I bought 100 of the little buggers today, to burn my MP3's :p
