REVENGE Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Apple legal is at it again! This time the unfortunate casualty is blog-news site Think Secret. Here is the official statement from the site itself: "Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret's publisher, said 'I'm pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits.'" I guess this is reality of investigative journalism: poking around the wrong places gets you slammed by Apple's lawyers.

alloutmacstoday Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 thats gotta suck for him. you'd think apple would at least pay him for his troubles, or gave him a new computer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77087-think-secret-shutdown-by-apple-lawsuit/#findComment-545876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggerman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Of course he's been paid. Good on him. Clearly he was on to something and worth shutting up. They either have a big secret, or don't like false rumours that turn out to be true. Freedom of speech.
