another part that I really like.. same case.. in the footnotes.
"Several courts have concluded that such instructions fall outside the First Amendment. However, these conclusions never rest on the fact that the speech took the form of instructions, but rather on the fact that the instructions counseled the listener how to commit illegal acts. See, e.g., Rice v. Paladin Enterprises, Inc.,128 F.3d 233, 247-49 (4th Cir. 1997); United States v. Barnett, 667 F.2d 835, 842 (9th Cir. 1982)"
Wow.. sounds like your claim that torrent files are protected by the first amendment is pretty kaput. They are after all, only instructions on how to get content that users have no right to distribute.
