Summary:

"In a huge victory for environmental groups, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals this week ruled that data collection on public lands is protected free speech, and a Wyoming state law that created stiff civil and criminal penalties for “data trespass,” gathering data (or even taking photographs) on public land after crossing private property violates those rights."
