Bloggers Must Reveal Sources to Apple in Info Leak Legal Case
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 06:00 AM
"Apple has won its legal fight to make three bloggers reveal who told them about unreleased products. The bid to unmask the employees leaking information was launched in December 2004 following online articles about Apple's Asteroid product. Now Apple has won the right to see e-mail records from the three bloggers to root out the culprit. A lawyer for the three bloggers said the ruling set a dangerous precedent that could harm all news reporters."
Interesting, if slightly worrying news. Hopefully the flow of juicy product rumours will still continue, regardless of what happens in the Apple appeal. It's always good to know what manufactures have up thier sleeves. Isn't it?
