One of the interesting details in this article that I had not previously seen was that JSTOR had blocked MIT's access owing to repeated bulk downloads, which led to an investigation by MIT police. So this presumably went a bit beyond routine high jinks, and it presumably at least inconvenienced other users.
The fact is that — much as we may sympathize with him — Aaron killed himself.
- ericd 13y agoYeah, when it creates more work for the admins is probably when the admins would start being pissed, not with the trespassing or w/e that people seem stuck on. And he killed himself in the face of what must have seemed like a hopeless situation, much of that hopelessness created by the massively overzealous prosecution. I think the prosecutors deserve a good amount of that blame.
- walid 13y agoI totally agree he killed himself just like every suicide victim. The question is why does a person commit suicide? Boredom? Adventure? To get laid? Your comment is the stupidest I've read in a long long time. Down voted.
