Story: 2005: Apple's 1984?
This article is pure bull-oney.
NDA, and the protection of intellectual property *DOES NOT* take a backseat to free speech and the 1st Amendment.
Journalists would tell us that free speech is the #1 concern, more than personal property rights, right to a jury trial, gun rights etc. But this is not so. They place great importance on the 1st Amendment because their livelihood is based on this rights.
In reality, all of the rights protected by the Bill of Rights are of equal importance. That is why the Bill of Rights was ratified as a whole, and not piecemeal.
