I chose not to look through the archive... thus to me, you are the one who violated Sony employees privacy.
If the front door is unlocked and you walk in, you still chose to walk in.

Under this analogy, WikiLeaks is putting up billboards detailing all homes with open doors, as well as providing a full searchable inventory of the contents of all homes.
"We're just providing the information" they say. "Just a middle man!"
EDIT: Instead of silent downvotes, can you respond with why you disagree? WikiLeaks took stolen private documents and made them easily accessible and searchable by people who otherwise would not have accessed them.
Please be respectful and engage in conversation, not downvotes.
If you want email and privacy, you need to encrypt.
Email is as secure like a postcard; at least that is what we use tell the people that wanted to append long email disclaimers.
For WikiLeaks to be doing what your analogy is saying then they would of had to have figured out what systems were vulnerable on the whole of the internet, downloaded all of the contents from those servers, and then made them available.
Verifying that no intruders are in the house because some num-nuts left the front door open is a pain in the butt.
