In a 77-page order (available at AEI, Feb. 13), Judge Weinstein upheld his injunction, and made findings that New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, along with Dr. David Egilman and attorney James Gottstein conspired to violate the protective order. "Here, a reporter was deeply involved in the effort to illegally obtain the documents." Several other individuals were ordered to return documents they received from Gottstein. The damage has been done to Lilly, however, and there is no injunction against websites that did not receive the documents from the conspirators. (Update: see also Childs.)
