Why would he? He's not looking for facts or truth, he's just a shill. For him, actual knowledge is unnecessary at best and harmful to his position at worst.
No they aren't. Freedom of speech does not imply a right to speak on any private property you care to use. I can't stand in your living room and shout obscenities at your family and then whine about free speech when you call the cops to have me removed.

I am distrustful of third party software that wants your Amazon login info to remove the DRM from the stuff you've bought there. (Unless you know of another way, in which case I'd be VERY interested to know about it.)
