Too Much Media, a Freehold-based firm, wants Shellee Hale of Washington state to reveal her sources for message board posts she made claiming its customer information was compromised last year. The firm, which provides software used by pornographic sites, denies customer information was breached.
Hale argued she's protected by shield laws for journalists.
However, Judge Louis Locascio rejected that late Thursday, saying her posts were nothing more than the rants of "private person with unexplained motives for her postings'' and cannot be given the same protections as information compiled though the process of news gathering.
Hale's attorney, Jeffrey Pollock, said he was disappointed with the decision and will likely either appeal or ask the judge to reconsider the ruling.

Feel free to look for "Millhouse" anywhere you like. You won't get far.
In any event, VIN is not based in NJ, so this stupid ruling has no effect on it, even before it gets reversed.

Actualy tha law is a NJ Law, so it does not protect you in the first place, even before the ryling.
BTW, I would say the Law is stupid, not the Ruling. If you badmouth someone, you better have some backing, otherwise it's slander. Just because you are the Media, you have no right to slander someone.

Milhouse is one of the only bloggers who uses his brains before he posts. Not like some of the idiots who just ramble and rant.
