Cnet (story by Steven Musil) is reporting that
Wikileaks has republished some of the hacked Sony data (ostensibly by North
Korea, in conjunction with the movie “The Interview”) on a searchable database,
story here.
Julian Assange insists that the data should be in the
public domain because it is in the center of a geopolitical conflict. But should the personal information of Sony
employees and contractors be included in that p.d. area? I hope not.
The leaked data even included some pirated movies and
books. I’d be flattered if mine were
included.
There could be at least a remote legal risk to a blogger’s deliberately linking to this
database, given the Barrett Brown case in Texas discussed here before.
