I filed a brief for the Massachusetts SJC too... I don't think we'll win them over, though.

I don't think I follow the "beige paint" argument. If there were a legal restriction on expression (no amplified music in a public library), an unusual hypothetical counterexample where the rationale wouldn't apply (playing Cage's 4'33) wouldn't matter, right?
