1) Since when is google the supreme court?

And again the leaks aren't published work and they aren't about any marketing material.

2) You were the one that put you can't use copyrighted material and profit from it.

1). Show me where the Supreme Court has ruled that unpublished works do not fall under the Fair Use doctrine. I'll wait. But I can provide you with case work backing up my stance if you can't find your Supreme Court case.  But, by all means, you first.

2). Direct profits, not indirect.  Are they selling the copyrighted material as their own material?  I should not need to explain this. 

Further point to 2). If not for this, any company could sue any media company, person or other entity on the grounds of copyright infringement for merely discussing a rumor before the IP is fully published. Again, I really should not have to explain this.

Rumor =/= leaked material. And is a very extensive material. And when most of the appeal of what you are doing is the material and most of the time is put simply showing the material then you aren't really contributing to claim any fair use.
