Re: Warez Vs. Tethering

National security issues trumps the First Amendment. Yelling "Fire" in a crowded movie theatre is not covered under the First Amendment. Obscenity is limited under the First Amendment in public domains. Distributing copyrighted materials is not covered under the First Amendment. DMCA is the digital age clarification of what is limited under the First Amendment, which includes disallowing dissemination of copyrighted materials.

First Amendment rights only protects PPCGeeks if they were to be accused of having 'illegal materials' on their websites. PPCGeeks themselves is able to restrict any type of speech they wish as they are a private institution. They have decided to allow talks of regedits because it is not illegal and they have no obligation to censor it.
