C|Net Reporters Sue HP for Invasion of Privacy

Greg Sandoval writes on C|Net News:

The fallout from Hewlett-Packard's boardroom leak scandal continued Wednesday as three CNET News.com reporters sued the computer maker, alleging that its investigation tactics amounted to an invasion of privacy and a violation of state rules on business practices.

Complaints were filed on behalf of reporters Dawn Kawamoto, Stephen Shankland and Tom Krazit in California Superior Court for the County of San Francisco. Kawamoto's husband, plus Shankland's wife and parents, also filed their own suits Wednesday, according to court documents. All seek unspecified damages.

An HP representative did not immediately comment on the suits.
