It amazes me that anyone might believe that Jobs/Woz/Allen/Gates/Zuck were right to do what this article says they did, and that such activity -- far from being punished -- should be commended. "There would've been no Apple" -- and we'd be worse off today how, exactly?

Oh for crying out loud. You're picking on GoT viewers? And THAT's your idea of why the country's getting worse?? I'd bet real money that the people watching Game of Thrones (~5 million?) are orders of magnitude more well-informed than those watching American Idol (13 million).

Plaintiff successfully copyrighted the illusion with the U.S. Patent Office in 1983.
Maybe I'm completely clueless but how could this be true? It sounds like what Teller is trying to protect is not a copyright but a patent. And his 20 years were up 10 years ago.
Censorship in the First Amendment context means congress enacting legislation that limits your freedom to publish your ideas. No private entity is obliged by the First Amendment to publish or defend your ideas for you.
