Telepolis: Internetaktivist wird des Massenklaus von Wissenschaftsartikeln beschuldigt
Zwischen September 2010 und Januar 2011 soll der unglaublich aktive 24-Jährige “systematisch und schnell” die Artikel von JSTOR heruntergeladen haben, in dem er sich durch den Einbruch in einen verschlossenen Schaltraum am MIT Zugang zu einem Switch verschafft hatte, um so in das MIT-Netzwerk eindringen zu können, wo er sich unter einem Pseudonym als Gast angemeldet hatte, was kurzzeitig möglich ist. Weil das MIT Kunde von JSTOR ist, konnte er so die Millionen von Artikeln auf sein angeblich zu eben dem Zweck erworbenen ACER-Notebook herunterladen.

Podcast on aaron-swartz wunderkind-free-culture-movement-on-the-media
In 2013, 26-year-old software developer and political activist Aaron Swartz died by suicide. He had been indicted on federal charges after illegally downloading 4.8 million articles from JSTOR, a database of academic journals, and potentially faced a million dollar fine and decades in jail. While his death made headline news, Swartz had long been an Internet folk hero and a fierce advocate for the free exchange of information. In his book, The Idealist, writer Justin Peters places Swartz within the fraught, often colorful, history of copyright in America. Brooke talks with Peters about Swartz's legacy and the long line of "data moralists" who came before him.
