By continuing giving MIT access after the breach of contract/license agreement, does JSTOR still have a legal claim of Wire fraud? You're thinking in terms of a civil suit, where an aggrieved party sues to restore their property/rights/etc. This was a criminal suit where the process is very different: the party suing is always the government in criminal cases, and the only matter at hand is whether the defendant violated the letter of the law. Aggrieved parties don't even have any authority to press or drop charges in criminal cases: that authority rests solely with the government (and the government will often continue cases when the parties involved just want it to go away).
