  Yeah, this was really annoying to see. Don't use him as a pillar to your malicious action.

    You're new so I won't hold it against you. Aaron Swartz would have 100% approved of this.
    • junon 5y ago
      I'm not new, and no he wouldn't have.

        Aaron was known for circumventing systems.
        • croes 5y ago
          Was he also known for harming innocent bystanders just to hit big companies?
          • ddtaylor 5y ago
            Actually, yeah, because when he setup his PACER scraping script he used credentials belonging to a library that didn't belong to him. A similar thing happened when he hid the computer on campus in a closest that did the JSTOR scraping.

              Boo hoo, he "stole" what, $2 worth of computing resources/electricity by doing this? No human has been harmed here. No property has been substantially harmed either. Anything he "stole" should've been made public for free in the first place.
