Copyright claims are not criminal, they're civil; two different things.

Furthermore there are limits to free speech in the US. For example: obscenity, treats of violence, military secrets, etc.

Australia has no bill of rights, yet judges have upheld individual right to protests (Victoria has a Charter of Rights, but that's it). China has free speech in their constitution. Germany has free speech, unless it has anything to do with the original Nazi party symbols.

So civil courts need not uphold the constitution? I understand the limits exist, but they are entirely unconstitutional. If you believe it would be a good idea to have such a law, go ahead and pass an amendment.
