WTF FOX?!

According to a news story on Yahoo, FOX fired a columnist for posting an early review of the "X-Men" spin-off "Wolverine". A full-length copy of the film was leaked onto the Internet. The columnist, Roger Friedman, admitted that he downloaded the film and watched it in order to write his review. What was he fired for? Unethically reporting his review? I don't believe that Friedman broke any rules or policies. He watched the leaked film, but he did not break copyright laws by watching the film. Sure, it is debatable if his actions were ethical. Roger was a veteran columnist at FOX. A review is just an opinion, which is used to try to influence others. He says that the movie is greater than expected. The FBI is investigating the leaked film. I cannot understand how Roger Friedman lost his job for a review of a leaked film. Most media outlets would love to have the first review of a film. Friedman only acted upon the opportunity. Please, tell me what you think.
