http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/reif-letter-swartz-documents-0319.html http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/reif-letter-swartz-docume... There's the official version. Text appears to be the same. I don't know why people use the Pastebin copy (I've seen this a few other times with documents related to the Swartz case).

Thanks for the update. Maybe folks copy it to Pastebin for anonymity or redundancy in case it should disappear. Possible that it was copied from an e-mail before it was known that the contents would be made public. Appreciate the link!

To add to SeanKilleen's comment, a Pastebin mirror probably can't be modified with subtle wording changes that might invalidate a lot of the discussion and conceal the original apparent intent of the letter. I'm not suggesting that MIT would do this, but that in general, a read-only mirror of a document can be a useful thing.
