Uncle Sam&#8217;s lawyers argued that Snowden had violated non-disclosure agreements he signed with the NSA and CIA, and thus is not entitled to profit from breaching his contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Snowden did not seek pre-publication approval of his book from the NSA or CIA, as his contracts required. According to court documents, he has acknowledged that he should have done so but <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2019\/10\/25\/memorandum_snowden_23_oct.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn&#8217;t want<\/a> [PDF] the government to edit his life story because he didn&#8217;t believe those vetting the copy would act in good faith.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Snowden revealed documents about the extent of surveillance operations by the US and its allies, an act that had a profound impact on information security practices and public discourse about privacy. He has characterized the disclosure as an act of whistleblowing, a position the US government <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/irp\/congress\/2016_rpt\/hpsci-snowden.pdf\">rejects<\/a> [PDF].<\/p>\n<p>Federal authorities indicted him on criminal espionage charges shortly after the leak and revoked his passport while he was in Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow, Russia. He remained there for more than a month before Russia offered him asylum.<\/p>\n<p>He still resides in Russia, although he has said he would be willing to return to the US to face trial if he were allowed to argue his actions were in the public interest. That defense, however, isn&#8217;t allowed in espionage cases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2016\/09\/12\/shutterstock_ed_snowden.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Picture by GongTo \/ Shutterstock\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Uncle Sam tries to plug leaker's pay, ends up plugging leaker's book\">US government sues ex-IT guy for breaking his NDA (Yes, we mean Edward Snowden)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/09\/17\/us_govt_sues_snowden\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>On Tuesday, Judge Liam O&#8217;Grady issued <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.vaed.453958\/gov.uscourts.vaed.453958.63.0.pdf\">a ruling<\/a> [PDF] granting the government&#8217;s motion for partial summary judgment. The order states that the contractual language is clear and the court is therefore barred from considering other evidence. It also says that Snowden gave up the opportunity for judicial review by failing to submit his book to the contractually mandated process.<\/p>\n<p>The government has won similar cases in the past based on other violations of contractual review requirements. In 2016, Matt Bissonnette, who served as a member of Navy SEAL Team 6, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/08\/20\/us\/bin-laden-book-seal-team-6.html\">gave up $6.8m<\/a> in book royalties and speaking fees for failing to seek pre-publication approval.<\/p>\n<p>Snowden&#8217;s book has also faced problems in China, where certain passages have been censored.
