Cooper evidently was prepared to go to jail rather than reveal his source. According to the Washington Post, "told Reuters that he would rather Time not turn over his notes but acknowledged that the magazine had its own obligations to consider."
Is it not a little odd that Cooper is prepared to disobey a federal court, but not his own employer? If the principle is worth serving time for, might it not also be worth losing his job?

I think that Time editors have possession of his notes -- at least that's the impression I got from one of the stories I read about their move.
It makes sense that the magazine would have copies of his notes -- he did write a story on it, and it relied on anonymous sources. Many newspapers, etc., require that an editor review interview notes and know the ID of the anonymous source in such a situation.
