I think he's going to be sorely disappointed - Google doesn't have to pay anyone, they're one of the easy categories tech blogs ride for easy traffic and this case has provided especially good fodder for them to convert into ad impressions.
- joe_the_user 14y agoUh, Alsop has to issue order for both parties but the implicit target is Oracle and some would claim, Florian Mueller. http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/07/judge-hey-oracle-and-google-turn-over-the-names-of-your-paid-bloggers/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/07/judge-hey-oracle-and-google...
- benologist 14y agoMueller outed himself 4 months ago so it seems a bit unlikely that he'd be the target of an order now. It does make a nice hook for the tech rags though.
- jlgreco 14y agoMaybe the judge is looking for a confirmation from Oracle on the record, for some sort of legally reason? (IMNAL, obviously)
- nitrogen 14y agoI wonder if somewhere, out there, is a blog with the exact opposite comment: "Finally, Pamela Jones will be shown to be the pack of IBM lawyers she really is..." I assume that for every opinion one can have, there's someone out there who disagrees with it.
- danso 14y agoThe OP's author actually just tweeted that he might be on the list because he was an intern at Google during the period in question...however, you're being too cynical yet not cynical enough...it's possible that journalists cover a hot company to draw traffic AND it's possible that said company can exert influence in a way that such coverage is more slanted than it might be otherwise.
