A confidential, copyrighted, and incriminating document is leaked out of a 
major institution
and in to the hands of a journalism organization. The document is intensely 
scrutinized by
that organization and a few experts they bring in. They break the story to the 
public along
with the document.

Is anyone liable for copyright violation? If so, who? Is there any case law 
establishing a
precedent for prosecuting the leaker and/or the journalists who broke the 
story? Are there
any protections offered under any whistleblower legislation, such as the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act?
