The helpful hacker demonstrates his techniques on camera for the NBC Nightly News, but lawyers kill the story when he cracks the broadcast network's own systems.

Interesting that the story was pulled when there was "bad publicity" involved. Everyone has a right to see what can be done to their networks, and yes it was conducted in a very odd manner, however its the fact that it was pulled before it was aired that disturbs me, how many stories that would generate public interst and awareness does a media company pull because it makes itself look bad. Media censorship is getting out of hand, we are now being spoon fed what we "should be hearing", not what we need to hear.
