Um…They have the hacker admitting that he stole the emails. The court opinion is bullshit, MPAA should have known it was obtained unethically since if there was some other way to get it, they would have.

Admitting it now. Prove that the MPAA knew he was going to hack in to get the information. Plaintiffs get inside information from whistle blowers all the time and it’s perfectly legal. You cross the legal line when you knowingly hire someone to get information illegally.
