It is getting complicated.

Since is allowed to collect the data with an ogn reciever, it is clearly allowed to have the data. Therefore the australian team can't be penalised for having the data but only for the way that they got it.

This means that the person who got the data should be punished but not the pilots because as we found out, having the data is perfectly fine. But how do you punish the person that found it? Did he steal it or did something illegal? No, he just knew where it was.

Was he morally right to get it that way? Probably not but the rules are pretty ambiguous when they allow you to have the data and allow you to find it one way but apparently according to the jury not another ( legal) way.
