  • EFF: “A California state appeals court ruled [Apple v. Does, 69 pages, PDF)] 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.”
  • Apple Dealt Setback In Suit Against Online Journalists – “The appellate court decision reverses a lower court that refused to extend to the online publications the same protections granted California journalists.”
  • AP – Judge: Reporters Must Give Libby Documents – A ruling today (40 pages, PDF) by Judge Reggie B. Walton directs Time magazine’s Matt Cooper to produce drafts of his stories related to Libby which the defense may use to impeach Cooper.
