I'm glad they're appealing, but I have a feeling his publishers (MacMillan and Holtzbrinck) will eventually cave.

What's more messed up is that they're going after the money he made from speaking at events:

  The judge ruled that the government is entitled to any proceeds from those public talks, though it’s not clear how that ruling might be enforced.

It's amazing that it's even possible for a government (in the name of "security", or "national security") to prevent someone from profiting off of their experiences in their own personal life.

Land of the free, home of the brave!
