Logic and reason have fallen on deaf ears. <br /><br />The pressure of these cases, especially with JSTOR declining to press charges in Swartz's case and where the Justice Department continues a case shown to have been flawed from the start as in <a href="http://bostoncollegesubpoena.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">the Boston College case</a>, is immense and emotionally devastating.Anon2http://bostoncollegesubpoena.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-47702877133266572802013-01-13T08:39:13.936-05:002013-01-13T08:39:13.936-05:00I'll second maggini's comment. The articl...I'll second maggini's comment. The article linked is excellent. Having been the lead engineer on an incident response and forensics team, I ran into a number of people just trying to get to information they felt should have been accessible. Poor policies, and bureaucratic processes exacerbated the issues. None of those cases warranted law enforcement involvement. If your tax dollars are going to pay for prosecutors and law enforcement looking to make examples out of issues like this one, you need to demand your money back. Computer crimes are being committed in Massachusetts that involve financial loss, trade secret loss, identity theft, terrorism, and more. The prosecutor should be focusing on them. The crime here that is worth 35 years is to put this much emphasis on a single person who walked onto an open campus, plugged into an open network jack in an unlocked closet to access information that was erroneously limited to that open network. Sensationalize and vilify for your own personal gain is the atrocity here. Because it was done with a computer, it must have been a magic witchcraft hack and therefore we'll burn the witch.CCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495312292599219637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-65633161890665955852013-01-12T21:05:21.146-05:002013-01-12T21:05:21.146-05:00@Anonymous: I know you may not have read this befo...@Anonymous: I know you may not have read this before commenting, but read it now:<br /><br />http://unhandled.com/2013/01/12/the-truth-about-aaron-swartzs-crime/maggininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-87560588439833120362013-01-12T19:44:17.952-05:002013-01-12T19:44:17.952-05:00I am sorry his depression lead to suicide but his ...I am sorry his depression lead to suicide but his excuse was the same as any one charged with online piracy...<br /><br />"They werent hurting anyone."<br /><br />The facts are he broke into a networking closet and hid a laptop to steal data that was only accessible on the MIT network.
