A win for online journalists- source protection - Apple v. Does, Kasper Jade + EFF.

THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA - Respondent; APPLE COMPUTER INC.Read the fucking manual THE DOCUMENT. California's state appeals court ruled in favor of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF's) petition on behalf of three online journalists Friday, holding that the online journalists have the same right to protect the confidentiality of their sources as offline reporters do. "Today's decision is a victory for the rights of journalists, whether online or offline, and for the public at large," said EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl, who argued the case before the appeals court last month. "The court has upheld the strong protections for the free flow of information to the press, and from the press to the public."
