Why is leaking the video the right thing? There were multiple videos of the incident including footage from a EarthCam live camera. And the NTSB released multiple videos as part of their investigation. The video wasn't leaked in order to stop a coverup.
bro, no one is suggesting we should keep plane crashes secret, but yeah I do find it a little distasteful to turn on the TV and see the moment hundreds of people were killed.

>Why is leaking the video the right thing?
Because it's in the public interest. The law doesn't state what's right only what's permitted.
Isn't that an even stronger argument that the leak shouldn't be criminal?
No, for the same that stealing an item isn’t okay because there is more in the back.

Leaking crash footage to CNN isn't clearly "the right thing". Except for CNN I guess, who probably got a lot of views and clicks from the footage.
A lot of views from general population rather than being buried.
Are you suggesting such incidents should not be reported on or captured?
The person got paid to grant exclusive rights to the videos to CNN, this wasn't just posting to social media to spread the word.

The NTSB provided the footage. Nothing further was required.
