The dePlume Organization LLC, publisher of Apple rumor site Think Secret, has filed a motion in California Superior Court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Apple alleging the Web site disclosed confidential information. The motion effectively halts Apple's case in its tracks until mid-April, when a judge is expected to rule on the motion.
From Think Secret's lawyer's perspective, the issue is about the First Amendment, pure and simple. "What Think Secret did is what journalists do all the time," the organization's lawyer Terry Gross of Gross & Belsky LLP, told MacCentral. "They ask for information, and if they get it, they publish it."
