Shield laws protect journalists/sources. In an ideal world, we'd be cheering for a good guy. In this case, the TMZ of tech is in the crosshairs. Not going to do any armchair lawyering, but I sure can't wait for the other side (not the whitewashed Gizmodo story) of the story to come out. Sadly, the conditions for Godwin's law are rapidly being met on this situation. sigh

mkturner, bitter experience teaches me that I (you in this case) should've been more aggressive about getting the situation resolved. A little goodwill on your part i.e. attempting to find a reader would have gone a LONG way to closing this case. I empathize, but not doing your legwork is inexcusable.
