Two weeks after being served with a lawsuit by Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple Computer Inc., the Mac-centric news and rumor site Think Secret announced that it has retained a lawyer for its defense.
The question of legal representation was an acute one for dePlume Organization LLC, the owner of the site, and the organization's founder, Nick dePlume—dePlume is the screen name of Nick Ciarelli, a 19-year-old freshman at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.
Terry Gross, a partner at the San Francisco-based law firm of Gross & Belsky LLP, will represent Think Secret on a pro bono basis. Gross, formerly counsel to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has specialized in issues of defamation and privacy, especially around Internet law.
