in-general, I hate it when data/information/images, etc disappears from the internet

They basically sell a license for people to access and reprint the information. It's their research being conducted, they should be able to determine who does what with it, and how they can access, republish, etc... I don't see anything wrong with what NPD has done.

Huh?

No he's not. The original leaker signed a contract with the NPD group. The kid signed no such document.

what's the counter-arguement to this?

This is crazy IMO. If I say that a certain game sold a certain number of copies in the US last month then I'm doing something wrong?.. bollocks!

In addition, we have no record that you are even a client of NPD.

this is pretty sad. but oh well, the japanese sales are more fun for me anyhow. NPD was just too numerically intensive.
