Obviously CQ (or ARRL, or Contest-Sponsor-XYZ) needs my logs to score their
contest.

But I could make a pretty good argument that those logs are a private
document transacted between me and the scoring team, and that any public or
3rd-party disclosure beyond that needed for the "scoring process" is an
abuse of that privacy.  Reasonable people have disagreed with me, but none
have persuaded me that their position has merit.
