But would any tech organization buy stolen company secrets and property?


It is highly arguable that Gizmodo came upon the iPhone prototype legally. And in the case that you can run a story on an iPhone prototype for $5000, gaining 20M+ page views without stomping all over any laws, I would say that any smart tech publication would do the same.


Smart maybe, but not ethical. They may have gotten 20M page views, but their not in my feed anymore.


You should probably frame your question this way, "Which tech organization wouldn't buy stolen company secrets and property?"
