What Swartz did was not even close. What he did was absolutely fair use. He downloaded shit from JSTOR while at MIT which is fine because MIT allows students and employees to access JSTOR. There was no evidence that he shared anything.

His real crime is threatening profits of a corporation...

MIT is forever disgraced for their conduct and should be stripped of their tax exempt status.
