the way I understand it is that prior to the film or any of this he was on probation, one of the conditions of which was no computer or internet access, so even the fact of him producing it was in violation. When you are convicted of crimes, you lose certain rights, such as the right to vote or bear arms. It's not curbing of free speech until normal citizens who aren't on any form of community supervision, probation, or parole are prohibited from producing and/or distributing films due to content.

sorry to reply to myself, the problem about the software knowing when it's a zoom and when it's a multi-touch pinch... Can't you bind the click wheel to always equal a multi-touch pinch, and just let the position of the mouse determine whether to zoom or not, just like pinching in certain areas on the screen? Also, I may not patent this, but if anyone tries to, this is prior art! ;-)

the defining range problem is easy- when you click down, that is your zero point, when you roll it up as Fwy as you can, it's equal to spreading your fingers apart as far as you can, and vice versa. Most pinch to zoom apps, i.e. Image galleries, won't zoom in to the max with one pinch; you typically have to use around 3 or 4... Same with the wheel, click down, roll up.. Click down, roll up... Click down, roll up. You could do it at the same speed as pinching, try it on your mouse.
