Why is one illegal and not the other? I don't know all of the legalities behind this whole thing, I think it's very gray, just curious on your opinion.

A paysite password being leaked is obviously something that is not owned by the leaker, making it illegal.

The same holds true for all of these documents. The leaker, nor the man behind wikileaks, own the content being given away for free. Is it because the rightful "owner" is the government, therefore the public? If that's the case, would the banking documents that were to be released be illegal? Those aren't government or public property.
