Guess which 2 of the 4 sites listed above got a lot more ad revenue this week? This news tip was one hell of a business deal. And in business deals, secured by contracts, penalties are imposed for players who don't follow the rules. This is how business is done. You're usually such an erudite guy, you're making me wonder if you're being obtuse on purpose. There's no "there" in this story, and sometimes you just have to say so. If you hate Assange, there are plenty of other directions from which to attack him. This pretty clearly isn't one of them. This contract penalty-as-compensation line of reasoning isn't even up to the standards of a Fox morning show.
