Possibly, but also consider that it is probably far worse to hurt their own
legal reputation by letting something like this slide.  I can certainly
imagine that as part of their investigation and any actions they may take
in the future, they are keeping close records of their having requested the
removal of the confidential information and documenting the fact that it was
in fact removed.  Failing to do that would probably hurt them in far worse
and longer lasting ways than worrying about hurting their reputation with a
few rabid fans.  They're damned if they do, damned if they don't...so try to
see it from their point of view.
