I'm inclined to agree. Assange is protecting his own ass. As long as there is villainy afoot that he refuses to publicize, he is no hero. If you're staring down an army, and you have one bullet, you don't say "leave me alone or I'll shoot". You fire that bullet. Because if you don't, you won't get the chance to.

Hopefully, this will serve as a nice precedent against automated takedown tools in the future.

Tools are just tools. This one was abused and should be taken from the abuser, but by no means indicates that the tool itself is bad. This is the other side of the fence of the historic ruling on VCRs that just because you can do something illegal with a tool is not reason enough to ban it.
