13 News Entities Tackle Apple on Confidentiality
From Times Wire Reports
More than a dozen news organizations are trying to stop Apple Computer Inc. from forcing online publishers to identify sources of confidential information on company products.
The Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press and 12 other media outlets, including the Tribune Co.’s Los Angeles Times, filed papers in court asking a California judge to reconsider his decision that online publishers must reveal the source of stories on Apple’s GarageBand software, which is used to record and mix music.
