Help Defend Blogger’s Rights

Boing Boing is filing an amicus brief in the Apple V. the Blogosphere case. I’ve refrained from comment as it’s not totally search related, but honestly, this is a very bad precedent. I break news here, and intend to keep doing it, much as I did for MacWeek back in 1988. Apple didn’t sue me then, because I was working for an “organization.” But now, if it’s just me, they can? Hogwash.

In any case, we’re looking for examples of blogs breaking news stories. If you have em, send em to BB’s counsel. More info on where and how is at this post.
