Interesting choice of headline

News.com is running an article titled "Microsoft sues over source code theft," which relates to  Microsoft filing suit against the John Doe hacker who has been putting out a program to disable Microsoft's Digital Restrictions Management.

If you read the article, though, it seems clear that it's in doubt whether any source code from Microsoft has actually been stolen. It seems entirely possible that the hacker is reverse-engineering the DRM, not working off of stolen Microsoft code.

So, wouldn't it be better to have a headline that reflects this? Like "Microsoft claims source code stolen" or something similar?
