The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed a protective order to stifle Apple's subpoenas against websites, reports MacCentral.
The subpoenas are part of Apple's attempt to discover who has been leaking its trade secrets to online publications - in December, Apple filed subpoenas aimed at discovering the identities of twenty 'John Does' that Apple alleges revealed information about upcoming products.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but I find this ongoing battle over the anonymity of sources fascinating - and it has much wider implications, especially for breakout web publishers.
