Apple Accidentally Leaks iTunes 8?

Apple may have inadvertently leaked iTunes 8 to a few lucky users.

How would he be in trouble by "releasing it"? Apple is the entity that released it whether they meant to or not. They may not like his sharing of the program but I really doubt that it would be considered illegal.
