Finished movies are guarded by the First Amendment, but the act of filming them on government property isn’t inherently protected activity, according to a Tuesday decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Gordy Price shot his 2018 film Crawford Road on National Park Service land without first obtaining a permit and paying a fee. After its first screening, the Nps cited him with a misdemeanor, which carried a potential sentence of up to six months in prison and a fine. The citation was dropped, but Davis Wright Tremaine First Amendment specialist Robert Corn-Revere took an interest in the matter, and Price in December 2019 sued the U.S. Attorney General (then William Barr) along with officials from the Department of the Interior and National Park Service, challenging the constitutionality of the rule.

An attorney for the state of New Jersey urged a judge on Wednesday to keep theaters closed, arguing that fans are free to watch movies at home without creating a risk to public health.
The National Association of Theatre Owners, and several major theater chains, are seeking an injunction that would allow theaters to reopen in the state. U.S. District Judge Brian Martinotti heard oral arguments on the request via Zoom, and is expected to issue a ruling in the coming days.
Nato’s attorneys have argued that New Jersey Gov. Philip Murphy is violating the First Amendment by allowing churches to remain open while theaters are closed.
But in defending the governor’s order, Assistant Attorney General Jeremy Feigenbaum argued that the restriction is content neutral, and that the state is allowed to make accommodations for religion without extending the same accommodations to other forms of expression.

President Trump’s threat to pull NBC’s license doesn’t make sense for a lot of reasons — starting with the fact that NBC doesn’t have a license to begin with. But it is still alarming to news outlets, because federal regulations aren’t clear about whether federal regulators can intervene to stop “fake” news.
You might assume the First Amendment protects all reporting. But current Federal Communications Commission language leaves open the possibility of government intervention, under certain narrow conditions.
On Tuesday, the president called out “fake news” NBC News for its handling of Ronan Farrow’s reporting on sexual misconduct accusations against Harvey Weinstein.
“I have long criticized NBC and their journalistic standards-worse than even CNN,” the president wrote after attacking the network for “fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct” in its handling of the exposé Farrow later published in the New Yorker.
