Tech news:
Lawyers for Apple Computer and a trio of Mac enthusiast Web sites met in court on Friday in a case that could have wide-ranging implications for the future–and even the definition–of online journalism.
Apple is seeking the right to subpoena the e-mail providers of three Mac-focused sites that published information documenting details of future Apple products. The company says that information was stolen, and is seeking legal action against employees who leaked the data. But it says it needs the Web sites’ sources in order to identify the employees.
A California state judge issued a tentative ruling late Thursday that would give Apple the go-ahead to pursue that information from the Web sites’ Internet service provider, but the judge did not issue a final decision at Friday’s hearing.
