If all the texts count as publication, there's no such thing as phone hacking (text snooping) any more, and all those who had their phones hacked should be jolly well happy with this judge.
OTOH, the press should start doing more phone hacking and exposing now - probably the only thing keeping t.h.e.m. straight, when the laws are so ripe for abuse^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M.
