That might tend to discourage a free press, if not acted upon by an ethics hearing.  Again, I don't know if this is addressed in the ethics handbook, I just hope that it is.

 This is an issue of criminal behavior, not unethical behavior.  Unless, of course, you want to consider every criminal act an unethical act, and that's just redundant.
