    From the Judges Handbook:

    "One can discern whether or not a particular individual belongs to the 'legitimate press' by checking for telltale signs of scuffed knees and a chaffed throat."

    yes the judge sided with apple but not primarily because of apple's claims of non-eligibility on behalf of the authors, but rather because this is a matter where blogs are protecting the identities of people committing criminal acts.

    Whether or not it should be considered illegal to give out someone else's (in this case Apple's) proprietary information is another issue.
