. . . from SoCal LawBlog regarding the Bear Flag League's brief in the Apple case (O'Grady v. Apple):

As some of you may know, the BFL filed an amicus brief with the California Court of Appeal in the litigation between Apple and two bloggers. We weighed in on the issue of a blogger's entitlement to the same first amendment protections that traditional journalists received. We filed our brief about a year ago and the court has since been very quiet. Last week we received notice that the court will hold oral argument this month. I'll keep you updated on the status of the case.

Included in the e-mail is a link to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's website; the Foundation is following the case. (You'll note that the BFL amicus brief is the first one listed in the Foundation update linked above.)

BTW, I'll grant that there are a lot of us, but keep in mind that the last time I checked, California was the most populous state in the country. (I said "populous," not "popular." Yeah, I know people love to hate us. Especially people who live here. I don't see 'em making plans to move, of course. As for me, you'll have to pry the palm fronds out of my cold, dead fingers.)
