i can't remember the legal wording, but, there was a big discussion about it last year, when target's a got out early, though not online; someone had intercepted a store mail package and distributed it.
pretty much, it's NOT confidential information, and it's not able to be considered any real kind of 'street date.'
more than anything, if they find out who did it, they can fire them if they work for the store, but from what i understand, they can't really take any legal action because it was intended for the public anyway.

They are threatening according to the news... Probably not much of a leg to stand on but who wants to go to court against walmart.
