In a case with implications for the
freedom to blog, a San Jose judge tentatively ruled Thursday that Apple
Computer can force three online publishers to surrender the names of
confidential sources who disclosed information about the company’s
upcoming products.Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg refused to
extend to the Web sites a protection that shields journalists from
revealing the names of unidentified sources or turning over unpublished
material.
Strange, because I thought that journlaists also didn’t have those rights. Anyway, the lesson is clear: be careful what you blog.
