the single most constructive thing JSTOR could do in reaction to this tragedy is loudly denounce the District Attorney for drawing them into the persecution of Aaron Swartz, for perpetuating the case after they - the victim of any wrong doing - asked the government to drop its case [0]. from this statement alone it isn't clear to me at all in what sense they "regretted being drawn into" the case. if JSTOR is institutionally incapable of acknowledging that prosecutorial abuse played a significant role in this tragedy, of specifically acknowledging and denouncing abuse under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act [1], it can't be taken seriously as a "member of the internet community". 0. http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/40347463044/prosecutor-as-bully http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/40347463044/prosecutor-as-bull... 1. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/09/feds-go-overboard-in-prosecuting-information-activist/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/09/feds-go-overboard...
