All rights do have limits, but this is too soft a limit for me, personally. I can understand how someone who is a well-known public figure would give up some rights related to slander, or being photographed, or whatever. But we're talking about private tax data, secured by the IRS. Guesses based on what someone makes based on or derived from publicly-available information I can understand, but leaked private tax documents crosses a line I'm not comfortable with. I do understand that others might think differently on this topic, though.
