me dijo un pajarito...

The Apple guys pressed.. but when Judge Conrad Rushing stated:

"We decline the implicit invitation to embroil ourselves in questions of what constitutes 'legitimate journalism," he wrote. "The shield law is intended to protect the gathering and dissemination of news, and that is what petitioners did here."

He gave a lot of space (as he should had) to many bloggers around the world.

So, welcome to an open market of rumours.. probably the same way than tracking markets of "futures" for the outcome of presidential election, or a sport contest start to serve as a proxy for adivination... blogging can take us to greater transparency (from governments, companies, and oh yes.. individuals). I once heard a F500 CEO saying "Privacy? forget about it, it doesn't exist. Get over it".

It would be interesting to see many players from the major visible targets having to dance around "I heard that... " accusations coming from everywhere.

This is a big win for bloggers! At least in the US.
Let´s see how similar situations are considered by other countries.
