Expert: Invalid Warrant Used in Raid on iPhone Reporter’s Home

Most people think the reaction from Apple and subsequently the Police involvement is blown out of proportion because it's all over a Phone. but I disagree. It's not just a phone. by principle, when you're not the rightful owner of something, you cannot sell it and profit from it. be it a phone or car or WMD.

Gizmodo put them self in this situation by a) announcing they'd pay for the phone b) disclosing their possession of a stolen phone.

This is going to be interesting to watch. I just hope we don't see a surge in pay for leaks model if a few months from now we hear how profitable the whole fiasco has been for Gizmodo and company.
