You are presupposing that your view on the badness of the act in question is the correct one on a topic where that is very far from clear. Logic is useful precisely in determining whether or not an act is bad - what you've said is akin to dismissing the use of logic to resolve the trolley problem.

Your "logic" would make all ill gotten information on the web fair game no matter how much damage it would do to someone or organization. EX: the recent Sony leaks or the release of any personal information on the interwebs be in stolen or not.

If you assume that every claim I make is intended as some sort of fundamental law and not as a heuristic which may or may not be useful in the current situation, then maybe so.
That's not how I intend the things I say to be taken, though. It is a monstrous leap from what I said to "all information ever put on the internet should be publicized as much as possible in all circumstances." I try to put enough caveats in my claims to make this clear - I'm sorry if I haven't done a good enough job of it.
