So the felony network intrusion charges and overzealous prosecution are entirely lost on you? Suicide is the only thing that made the case notable?

- bane 12y agoFelony network intrusion happens probably multiple times per day. There's absolutely nothing interesting about it. To be perfectly honest, I'd probably have tried to bulk download JSTOR if I had access to a network port somewhere on a campus that allowed for unfettered access. Why not? Would I have hidden a computer in a campus telecom room to do it for me? Probably not. Were the aggrieved parties over-the-top in the actions they took? Probably. Suicide also doesn't make this particularly notable. People in custody and under criminal charges are going to have a bad time. Unfortunately some of them do kill themselves as a response to that stress. In the end, Aaron, and the community around him is what makes this notable.
