I do wonder if there's a conflation here of publication and licensing.
For example, it is not clear to me whether publishing personal information under a restrictive licence is less bad than publishing it under an open one.
That is to say, I'm not sure that restrictive copyright is the right tool to use in each of the examples. Wouldn't it be better simply to not disclose the private information in the first place?

I've raised similar points on the talk page. Would you mind adding your comments there? I think that's probably the better venue for this discussion.

Of course. Had the discussion page not been a redlink at the time, I probably would have put my comments there the first time round.
