I have to side with Moglen here. First the journalist decides to call somebody he describes as "a militant privacy advocate" (emphasis mine). Then he says things like "It just doesn’t seem like the consequences are that bad."

What did he ever expect? I think Moglen is right in his expectations that any article resulting from that will be bullshit. And really: "N.B.: In the end, I did not put this in the story for several reasons, not the least of it was the fact that it was late and over word limit". Really, the word limit is his excuse? Sorry, but I think the journalist is the jerk here.
