Short answer? No.
Long answer:
I don't think he's entitled to it, frankly. For multiple reasons. However the main point is that it is not everyone else's responsibility to protect his privacy, it's Ashley Madison's and they failed to do so. All I have to say to that is, too fucking bad. Let's not mix this up with some kind of 'right to privacy' like how you have a right to privacy in what you do in the bedroom at home. When you go on the internet and sign up to a site like this, you're fully aware (or should be) that you're leaving such privacy in the hands of the people who run the site. And let's be real, the NSA is probably snooping on everyone's activities anyway, so anyone who thinks there's such a thing as privacy on the internet is a little naive IMO.
I don't have any sympathy for the guy though. He's a hypocrite and has been exposed as such.
In the case of whether hacking these sorts of sites is moral in the first place, I'd say it isn't. But it's a little different to expose the details of people who are out there cheating on their wives/partners (while preaching that it's wrong to do so), to exposing people who have accounts on other websites that are otherwise perfectly harmless and not immoral in and of themselves. Which is why my personal attitude towards this, is one of "too bad lol".
