They can publish what the hell they want. Free speech, private citizens, all that rot?
I never said they couldn't. It just comes down to basic journalistic ethics and integrity, you know... all that rot.
Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.
In that case, Wired doesn't need to publish information they are unable or unwilling to back up with evidence.
That's all well and good, but Moonlight doesn't support DRM-protected content.
