Nick dePlume revealed

The saga of Apple's pending lawsuit with Think Secret, a popular Mac rumor site, continues on.  Several bloggers, including Weblogs, Inc co-founder Jason Calacanis, have offered up their opinions about the lawsuit (briefly, they don't think it is a good idea), but Apple Legal doesn't seem to care.

The Harvard Crimson reports that Think Secret's Nick dePlume is a Harvard freshmen who has run the site since he was 13.  No matter what your opinion of rumor mongering is it is still impressive that such a popular website is run by such a young man.  Unfortunately, if you publish things that could be considered 'trade secrets' you are taking certain risks, one of them being a lawsuit or two.

While he is not named directly in the lawsuit, it would be a good idea for him to retain a lawyer, however, Wired News
reports that he can't afford one.

I'll certainly be keeping my eye on this story.
