Leaks usually damage the party doing the leaking. Others benefit - and that's usually desirable from the perspective of the rest of society - since it helps to even out power and wealth. Thus the popularity of WikiLeaks.
With the obvious exceptions being insider trading and selling secrets.
So: I didn't mean to refer to the individual responsible for leaking the information, I meant to refer to the organisation which the information is leaking from.
I am sure there are exceptions. For instance, some "leaks" turn out to be marketing.
