This seems to only apply to California. In addition, I'd expect it to go to the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal considering it wasn't really a trade secret at the time he published it, as the article suggests. Quote: But in limiting the power of free speech arguments, the California Supreme Court also sent the case back to the lower court to review the trade secrets aspects of the case. "Our decision today is quite limited," the judges stated in their opinion. "We merely hold that the preliminary injunction does not violate the free speech clauses of the United States and California Constitutions, assuming the trial court properly issued the injunction under California's trade secret law. On remand, the Court of Appeal should determine the validity of this assumption." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
