I don't think GP meant "don't get to" as in it's not their legal right to do so (which of course it is). I think they meant that it's a profoundly shitty thing to do to someone, and DEFCON should rightly be criticized for disinviting him in the first place.
I think an easter egg that includes a monetary solicitation is (at best) in poor taste, regardless of the circumstances. But canceling his talk 30 minutes prior to its start time for that? Nope, not cool. DEFCON's behavior in disinviting him was much much worse than his action that triggered it.
