I chose not to look through the archive... thus to me, you are the one who violated Sony employees privacy. If the front door is unlocked and you walk in, you still chose to walk in.

"If the front door is unlocked and you walk in, you still chose to walk in." Under this analogy, WikiLeaks is putting up billboards detailing all homes with open doors, as well as providing a full searchable inventory of the contents of all homes. "We're just providing the information" they say. "Just a middle man!" EDIT: Instead of silent downvotes, can you respond with why you disagree? WikiLeaks took stolen private documents and made them easily accessible and searchable by people who otherwise would not have accessed them. Please be respectful and engage in conversation, not downvotes.

  Well, "WikiLeaks is putting up billboards detailing all homes with open doors, as well as providing a full searchable inventory of the contents of all homes." - that's completely not an accurate analogy at all. For WikiLeaks to be doing what your analogy is saying then they would of had to have figured out what systems were vulnerable on the whole of the internet, downloaded all of the contents from those servers, and then made them available.

  I agree, but to take it one step closer to the truth, it is as if you had a pin entry at your front door and the updated pin is posted forever by WikiLeaks, for anyone to enter whenever they please.

  Billboards are advertisements. Wikileaks is more akin to a giant warehouse full of junk that 95% is useless but you can sift through if you so choose.

  No downvote from me however... If you want email and privacy, you need to encrypt. Email is as secure like a postcard; at least that is what we use tell the people that wanted to append long email disclaimers.

  Well, this is more like "the door is open, people are walking in and looking around... why don't I just take some photos and post them online, so that others won't need to queue to go through the door?".

There are some people who believe this was a hideous violation of privacy who are now going to have to look to see if any of their personal, friends, or family member's emails are among those that were leaked. Verifying that no intruders are in the house because some num-nuts left the front door open is a pain in the butt.
