His argument is more interesting than that because imagine you left your computer at the repair shop and then the repair shop takes ownership. But, you have your bank account information on the computer. That doesn't mean the repair shop can misuse the bank account information or publish your information in the newspaper. Obviously, that's a stronger case than Hunter's but it's a similar idea. He's saying "Okay, it's their laptop now. They can install Minecraft or use it for porn or whatever but that doesn't give them the right to disclose all of my private information to the New York Post."

That said, the chutzpah for him to even bring this case where he can then be deposed says a lot about the life this guy has lead.
