ThinkSecret's Defense Against Apple Suit
here's their strategy:
"Think Secret's reporting is protected by the First Amendment," Gross said. "The Supreme Court has said that a journalist cannot be held liable for publishing information that the journalist obtained lawfully. Think Secret has not used any improper newsgathering techniques. We will be filing a motion asking the Court to dismiss this case immediately on First Amendment grounds under a California statute which weeds out meritless claims that threaten First Amendment rights."

Apple say that he broke a california law, saying that he encouraged people to broke their nda.
If Apple want to appear like a bad org smatching Ã* pennyless teenager, I suggest that the company continue that way.
