M&C News:
A California appeals court has refused to order 2 Apple computer fan Web sites to reveal their sources for information about company products.

Apple argued that the 2 sites, PowerPage and AppleInsider, are not legitimate news organizations protected by California`s shield law for reporters, The Wall Street Journal reported. The judges overturned a lower court ruling that the sites misappropriated proprietary information on an Apple music-recording product with the code name Asteroid.

The 2 sites were backed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. ‘Today’s decision is a victory for the rights of journalists, whether online or offline, and for the public at large,’ Kurt Opsahl, a lawyer for the foundation, said Friday.

A lawsuit against another Web site, ThinkSecret, is still pending.
