San Jose Mercury News on the Apple ruling

The Mercury News is running an editorial about (Cal.) Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg's ruling in Apple v. Does just over a week ago. [Via Donna Wentworth.]

Let's be careful with the extent to which we call this case a "precedent." It has no authoritative precedential force within the law, because it comes from a trial court. But there is a possibility that an important appellate court could agree with the reasoning, establishing more authoritative precedent. Or, other trial courts could simply find the reasoning persuasive in the absence of other more binding authority.
