Do I have a first amendment right to sell pirated Disney cartoons?

on edit: obviously not because I'm not in the U.S but if I were?

US courts recognize many exceptions to the first amendment. IP rights fall into that category.

Which rather demolishes the telecoms' argument.

Clearly, the First Amendment right to free speech isn't absolute and unrestricted.

The existence of intellectual property rights isn't really relevant to the telecoms' argument here.

[ceejayoz]

The similar existence of privacy rights and their conflict with the telecoms' right to free speech is, though.

[SamReidHughes]

There isn't a similar existence of privacy rights.

SCOTUS begs to differ, in Griswold v. Connecticut. So do various state laws.
