I followed the case a little but don't remember any suggestions that he was singularly performing a DoS attack from the closet at MIT. Could you cite a contemporaneous source for that?
Also, it's interesting to consider the massive benefit to scientific communities that Sci-Hub has brought. And how the trend since Swartz has been to ever increasing open access and to cut out the rent seekers.
It seems like Swartz helped to light a path that, in general, scientific communities have followed.
Liberating scientific knowledge, verses those who would rather lock that knowledge up and charge rent to use it ... which side are the criminals.
His methodology was far from perfect, but you paint the liberation of scientific knowledge as if it were the crime of the century. I guess you think Sci-Hub is the devil's chariot?
