I do see your point, but it's out there now. How many thousands of people just grabbed it, or will, because of the article?
Just like PGP, decss, and countless other things, it will be kicking around at the usual places for anyone who wants it for long time, probably well past the point where anyone cares anymore.
Yeah it kills me when I see someone share something like this in the early stages of development though, like great you just ensured this will never see the light of day
