The stated purpose of the lawsuit was to get the drive returned, so they they could conduct their own investigation.
As outlined by Barney, the actual purpose was to protection from a libel lawsuit. If the press cites court documents, then supposedly it is protected from libel.
If the NP is protected, then I'd say that if that is the case, then the libel laws need a bit of modification. You should not be protected from libel, if your own court document are the ones you are citing.
