I appreciate that in general this attitude has led to erosion of rights. However...

I don't see how anyone other than Blizzard has any right to free speech on their privately owned gaming platform.

Even if Blizzard has created a new medium of expression in Starcraft II maps, why should they should be compelled to enable the distribution of any map they don't like?

I understand that people may not like Blizzard's decision to moderate their platform, but it's a big stretch to say that they are trampling on our right to free speech. Is a newspaper trampling on your right to free speech by choosing which editorials to print?
