Blogs leak news on Wall Street Journal conference
http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59116,00.html
Bloggers' spilled the beans on the Wall Street Journal's recent technology conference in Carlsbad, Calif., reports Wired. Bill Gates and Barry Diller were among the many speakers at the D: All Things Digital conference, hosted by Journal reporters Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. To encourage luminaries to speak freely the paper instructed journalists to consider anything said onstage as "off the record." Interviews conducted before or after the event were not covered by the "gag order." Two attendees, not aware of the gag order, posted reports of Gates' and Steve Jobs' speeches on their weblogs. Mossberg told
Wired he is not upset with the bloggers and doesn't feel they broke any rules. "It's an interesting issue," he said. "You just have to have a better definition next time. Maybe we'll change the rules. We don't know."

Bill Alpert, a business reporter for Barron’s, is asking the United Nations to decide whether Australian defamation laws can be applied to an article his American magazine posted on its Web site, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. Alpert and his employer, Dow Jones and Company, lost a defamation suit to Australian mining magnate Joe Gutnick in December 2002. Mr. Gutnick filed sued (and won) in Australia -- arguing that it is where his reputation has been damaged. The decision drew worldwide attention as the first case ever to establish international jurisdiction in an online case (see related briefs). Alpert has filed a writ with the UN Humans Rights Commission, claiming that the High Court of Australia has denied his right of free speech. The case is set to be heard in the Supreme Court of Victoria this November.
