Now there’s a guy who wants his open access…
“Aaron Swartz, a Cambridge web entrepreneur and political activist who has lobbied for the free flow of information on the Internet, was charged in federal court with hacking into a subscription-based archive system at MIT and stealing more than 4 million articles, including scientific and academic journals.”
MIT was apparently just a conduit to access JSTOR. Did he actually release them to the world?

Thanks for that. It seems, from what I read, that it’s all due to an over-zealous headline-seeking prosecutor. I guess if it ever comes to trial, we’ll know the facts.
