How to you justify downloading the leak? Is it because you're a journalist so it's OK? I'm pretty sure that if you were to post a direct link to the leak on Salon there would be legal ramifications, right? While you were downloading through Bittorrent others were downloading the file from you (that is the nature of Bittorrent). Probably something that you should have warned your readers of (so they are aware they could be sued).
I think it could be argued that he did something illegal. Had he downloaded the leak through a conventional method (ie one way) there probably wouldn't be a problem. But as I said earlier, when you download through bittorrent you are at the same time also distributing the file to others.
