I believe this is and under broad interpretation of the 1st Amendment.  If you
publish it as a book it is certainly covered but the contra positive is not
also true.  Saying that it must be published as a book would be analogous to
saying that the New York times is entitled to free speech but I am not simply
by virtue of the fact that they can afford those big (or indeed any) presses
and I must write my work out in long hand.

Can you provide more information regarding how you came to the above
conclusion?
