Apple 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.

You not liking NDAs is not a reason for complaining a company in-forces them

It's not about me not liking NDAs. Not at all. It's about me not liking how Apple is trying to stymie free speech by forcing journalists to disclose sources. That is very dangerous, for the reasons explained in my above post.

If Apple can force journalists to disclose their sources, what is stopping Nixon II from forcing the Washington Post to disclose who Deep Throat II is? You see how dangerous thi s is?

Furthermore, sites like apple insiders and other rumor sites, aren't news sites.

Decides who? Why is AppleInsider not a newssite, but CNet is? On what grounds do you make the difference?

They have no right to publish stuff that was obtained through improper channels.

So, Washington Post should have ignored Deep Throat?
