Can You Keep A Secret?
When a number of blogs posted secret details and drawings of Apple Computer's new music technology — code-named Asteroid — Apple's lawyers did what lawyers do: They sued the Web sites to find out the posters' identities and sources.
Early this year, a judge in Santa Clara, CA, allowed Apple to enforce the subpoenas, rejecting the bloggers' claims that as “journalists” they were entitled to legal protection for their sources.
