A New York judge upheld his order for The New York Times to return documents they obtained about communications between the conservative activist group Project Veritas and the group's lawyers.
In his Friday ruling, Justice Charles Wood ordered The Times to immediately give back all physical copies of their Project Veritas documents and destroy any electronic copies the newspaper has, as they were protected by attorney-client privilege.
Wood also argued that The Time's story regarding the documents were of no 'general interest and of value and concern to the public.'

Meanwhile, the jackboots at the corrupt Eff Bee Eye have copied everything.
'In defiance of law settled in the Pentagon Papers case, this judge has barred The Times from publishing information about a prominent and influential organization that was obtained legally in the ordinary course of reporting.'
How could The Times legally obtain privileged client-attorney documents?
I’m not familiar with CMOSS password protection. And I wasn’t able to find anything about it. Could you point me in the right direction?
One S, CMOS aka the BIOS.
One could also use a Lenovo Thinkpad or similar with fingerprint reader/lock.
Well, that is where the Slimes got it.
While a CMOS password would prevent one from booting a system, it does not help if the hard disk is removed and attached to a different computer. Your secrets are then open to the world.
The only way to protect your plot to overthrow the world is to encrypt every file that you don’t want viewed. And use a different password key for each file encrypted. Major PITA I know but very safe. If you have a list of password / file associations, keep that anywhere except on the same computer. The preferred storage method for this list is hand-written on cherry-flavored rice paper that can be eaten or flash burned.
Charles Wood is a New York state Supreme Court justice.
Amazing decision.
Completely unexpected.
The "Supreme Court" in New York state is not the highest court.
Every county in the state has a "Supreme Court." Wood was elected in Westchester County, which is a center-right county just north of New York City.
There are two more appellate courts above the county Supreme Courts.
VERITAS needs to really, really rethink their data security approach.
That's a great question. The answer depends on how one defines "legal" and "not legal."
There is no criminal statute covering the publishing of privileged information, and there was also no court order specifying what may not be published.
Similar with the leaker. It is not a crime to leak privileged information to the press. It is supposedly against work rules and ethics, but violation of work rules and ethics is not a crime.
The bad guys tend to define everything THEY do in terms of "criminal or legal." If the act or omission is not criminal, then it is legal.
Time for a massive lawsuit. Hopefully he can put NY Slimes into bankruptcy and sue the FBI for illegal entry and trespassing.
Why is Julian Assange in prison
Activist group? How about telling the truth: they are investigative journalists.
Because the UK has an extradition treaty with the USA.
In the 1990s, when Assange was in his twenties, he hacked into several secret USA government databases and several USA corporate financial databases, and then published (or leaked to journalists) everything he downloaded.
USA law enforcement had no idea who did it, until...
Assange went on the Dark Web and bragged about it.
An arrest warrant was issued, and Assange was permanently denied a visa to enter the USA.
For some reason, the USA did not pursue extradition at that time, even though Assange was often in countries that had a treaty with the USA.
From memory, during the Obama Administration, Assange published another large cache of USA secrets, but had nothing to do with the hack or the spying.
At that point, the Department of Justice re-activated the old Assange warrant and pursued extradition.
Assange hid out in the Ecuador embassy in London for several years, Ecuador finally evicted him, and the Brits arrested him for the purpose of extradition.
He has been fighting extradition ever since.
The propagandist nest , source, should be destroyed. The Times is a domestic enemy and has forfeited it’s right to exist
Erik Wemple, a media critic for the Washington Post, called the ruling 'a monster lump of First Amendment coal.'
Down is up and up is down.
The nyt and the fbi use thug tactics to try to shut down journalists and stifle free speech. Then the WaPo claims that a judge's ruling against the thug tactics is an attack on the First Amendment.
