You couldn't choose a worse example than that. MIT famously screwed Aaron Swartz legally over public domain (pre-1923) papers, by baselessly claiming that his access had been "unauthorized" when in fact it was entirely consistent with their own pre-existing policies! They are a bad actor in this whole issue and aren't going to do a thing.

- gumby 7y agoI'm an alum and I agree and I mentioned MIT because I think it should take a stand to atone for that.
- j1vms 7y ago> famously screwed (over) infamously is what you mean, particularly considering "screwed (over)" is very much an understatement in regards to the sombre culmination of that legal case. [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#MIT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#MIT
