Why does it matter it was a private communications?

It’s still a threat isn’t it?

They negotiate extent of damage one party can cause to another, and AT did not threat with anything uglier than JP already had done to AT.

And, in their private communication, JP _first_ started with threats like "do so and so and keep caml or else ...".

Received adequate threats in response, started playing a victim.

The fight is not about where it is shown and not about what, not about "links in Wikipedia", but about whether News Inc will be able to kill AT, as they did with 12FT.

What is News Inc? Are they a funder of Wikipedia(I think Wikipedia didn’t have a parent company so they’re not owners)?

They are owner of ArsTechnica which wrote 3rd (or 4th?) article on AT in a row painting it in certain colors.

The article about FBI subpoena that pulled J.P's speculations out of the closet was also in ArsTechnica and by the same author, and that same article explicitly mentioned how they are happy with 12ft down

from the Ars article:

--- US publishers have been fighting web services designed to bypass paywalls. In July, the News/Media Alliance said it secured the takedown of paywall-bypass website 12ft.io. “Following the News/Media Alliance’s efforts, the webhost promptly locked 12ft.io on Monday, July 14th,” the group said. (Ars Technica owner Condé Nast is a member of the alliance.) ---
