For those who don’t remember: Beginning in September 2010, MIT and JSTOR observed massive downloading of JSTOR articles by a laptop connected to MITs network. The downloading recurred in October and December, and bypassed MITs attempts to stop it. The scale of the downloading was large enough that it threatened to shut down JSTORs overall service - eventually collecting about 80% of the massive JSTOR journal article database. Aaron Swartz (who lacks subtlety) owned that laptop computer.
