Even though you are correct, this issue is still not a matter of free speech.

We've had copyright protections for some time, they're now being enforced.

I don't agree with it, but neither this is not about free speech or 'media spin' on the story.

If it restricts what you can say, how you can say it, or who you can say it to, it's a free speech issue. The restrictions being "copyright" doesn't change that fact.
