"Does this medium warrant First Amendment protection" really ought to generally be 9-0 "Yes" by default.

It wasn't until 1952 that film finally received First Amendment protection, for instance (overturning a unanimous 1915 ruling saying they didn't!). I'm glad there isn't another forty-year blight of "this can't qualify as speech of expression, so censor away" with games.
