Nothing like trying to get out of a contract by destroying your vendor's business. Kinda glad these people are on the hook for what they did.

People have a right to voice their opinion, even if they are wrong. This is draconian and goes against principles of free speech. You have the right to say something you think, even if it turns out later that you were mistaken. These people just wanted their photos, and this lady wouldn't give them up without an extra $125 payment. Sure maybe she wrote it in the contract, but that doesn't mean they can't say they didn't realize what was in the contract and that the lady didn't tell them about this before.

I think people just felt sorry for the photographer so they violated the first amendment. Very sad

>Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence.

That's exactly what it is.

In a causal world it's not. Nothing is. Only that the institution you are in does not actively prevent you from doing it, and in some circonstances protect you for doing it.

When the government punishes your speech with a 1 million dollar fine, how can you say the government isn't "actively preventing you from doing it"?

Ah, the China approach
