We do not know whether changing his mac address was in order to get around network blocks Yes we do, because we aren't stupid, and neither is Aaron. I could accept, for the sake of argument, that the very first time he changed his MAC it was because he was innocently trying to diagnose a network issue. By the time JSTOR has cut off all of MIT and he is plugging into a physical port to work around the restrictions on the wireless network, it's no longer acceptable to honest people that he just thinks there was something wrong with the MIT network. MIT didn't want him on their network. He thought his cause was worth bypassing their controls.
