I'm from the Netherlands. That may sound like a weird statement to start a column with-- don't worry, at the end of this week's Sunday Eve Column you'll understand why I put my nationality so bluntly up front.

In the Netherlands, those guys were killed by fanatics because of what they say.
In the US, Apple is trying to stop certain web sites that report their secrets?
Is this the same thing?
No.
Why?
a) Apple is not _killing_ the authors of said web sites.
b) The web sites are not expressing opinions about Apple, just revealing secret stuff.
c) Apple is trying to do this legally (although the legality can in deed be questioned)
Basically - what I think you meant to write is: "Web sites should be considered as press, and have all of the same rights (and obligations?)".
On that point, I'd be willing to agree with you.
