Then the argument is getting pretty thin, that we could possibly have an article on this. Could we link to a site that links to a site that publishes the number? How many degrees of recursion would it have to go before it's "safe"? And what if those sites who do publish the number or link to it are the best sources?
Also, we're not -just- talking NYT. (If we were, I'd be reticent myself, one of those very stories inaccurately stated that we'd gotten a C&D!) We're talking Wired, NYT, Youtube (and by extension, Google)... If they really want to make a fight out of this, they'd have quite a few heavyweights to take on.
Though, I don't remember the last time the NYT actually got -sued- successfully.

For god's sake, the NYT -is- a publisher, and they linked to it all over their official blog. You think their lawyers would have let them do that, if there were any significant degree of risk?
Not a good way to decide your own course. Things can and have gone horribly wrong at the New York Times.
