In Response To: Re: It's sad that it has come to this. (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))

: They made it availabe digitally. I don't think they took any precautions with

They took the exact same precautions they take with any Marketplace item. From what little I've heard, it sounds like the thieves swiped a product key that was made available for the press. Somewhere out there there's a sloppy journalist who can't meet his deadline... but the same was possible even if it was restricted to physical media, like the other three leaks were.
-- Steve has been armpit deep in the privacy-vs-transparency dilemma at work, and can see a similar tension at work here. That's one problem with today's bit-heavy environment.
