Think deeper about this. Stealing or benefiting from stealing is the same thing. Intellectual property owned and invested in by Twitter belongs to them. The employees and the families of those Twitter employees depend on the IP for expanding business, building homes and feeding their families. Making a living by working hard & smart is part of the liberty of being an American. Free speech is also. This isn't free speech. This is stealing IP!
The public is not owed the information what was stolen from that computer. This isn't a government agency paid for with your tax dollars. Just because we live in a new media world, doesn't mean all information should be spilled. You can hope no one ever hacks your laptop and steals your livelihood.

Don't mean to quibble, but that article is by Nik Cubrilovic not Michael Arrington. Unless they are secretly one and the same?

I've just started viewing TechCrunch on a regular basis. I love the constant supply of new articles and I agree with what they did with the Twitter hacker articles. Most news websites would have did the same thing.
