There could be a contract argument, too, but still, even if the audience member breaches a contract, the audience member is entitled to due process. It is not a crime to do this. If the reporter did anything wrong at all, all it could give rise to is a civil cause of action. The federal marshalls are not authorized to enforce Scalia's perceived contractual rights or copyrights. That is the whole 5th amendment procedural due process thing.
