The judge may not have agreed to Apple's demands to sanctions, but she was none too pleased with Samsung for its childish behavior. Don't mistake a choice not to impose sanctions with approval.

And please check your sanctimonious "first amendment" argument. Imagine I sue you, and find out something about you that I can craft into an embarrassing story. The judge in the case rightly excludes it from evidence, so I decide to pimp the story to the press to harass you instead, am I exercising my "first amendment rights"? No, I'm engaging in discovery abuse. So is Samsung.

If you want Samsung to win so badly that you'll try to rationalize this kind of behavior, you really need to look at your motivations -- and you may find that you're on the wrong side of the case.
