Lawyers for PowerPage, MacNN and Apple Insider Fire Back to Quash Apple's Subpoenas

Apple has filed subpoenas in a California court to compel Jason O'Grady (PowerPage), Monish Bhatia (MacNN) and Kasper Jade (Apple Insider) to reveal whom supplied them with what Apple claims is inside information protected by a non-disclosure agreement that was subsequently published on PowerPage and Apple Insider according to this CNet article. MacNN provides server hosting services to Apple Insider. Their lawyers replied in court that they are protected under California law from having to name their sources just like reporters who work in print media and wire services. The lawyers asked that the subpoenas be nullified. The information in question involves a so-called breakout box that connects musical instruments to a computer. [Dana Baggett]
