Paris Hilton Sidekick Hacked

Now that Paris Hilton's Sidekick [via] [c-net] has been hacked and the data is on display for people to link to, copy or download .... what's the legal status of that information?

I know that the FBI is shutting down sites hosting the information, but can we freely distribute it via email?
