Google Ordered Anew to Disclose Commentators in Oracle Case

Google Inc. was ordered for a second time to disclose which commentators receiving company money wrote about a copyright case against it after Google told a judge it may be impossible to name all those who fall into that category.
Google’s first response, in which it said it didn’t directly pay anyone to write about Oracle Corp.’s lawsuit over Android software, failed to comply with an Aug. 7 order requiring it and Oracle to disclose payments to commentators, bloggers and authors, U.S. District Judge William Alsup said in a court filing today. Alsup presided over a trial in the case in federal court in San Francisco.
