At the end of the day I am forced to agree with you. Is the publication of this content morally wrong? Yes. Are the publishers pieces of shit for doing this? Yes. Is what they did illegal? Unless they committed a crime to obtain the content, I would have to say no.

It's not illegal, but it publishing someone's intimate details without his consent falls into the realm of civil law.
