kudos:2 | Re: Feds Charge Activist with 13 Felonies for Rogue Downloading That's for the courts to determine.
I do love the irony though.said by wired1:MIT authorizes guests to use the service, which was the case with Swartz, who at the time was a fellow at Harvard’s Safra Center for Ethics.
Perhaps prosecutors should just go after him with trespassing and criminal intent.said by wired1:Swartz also allegedly snuck an Acer laptop bought just for the downloading into a closet at MIT in order to get a persistent connection to the network.
Anyway, based on the article, and the charges presented, things don't sound well for Swartz.said by wired1:Most of the new nine charges specify exact dates of the breaches, which include unauthorized computer access, computer fraud and unlawfully obtaining information. | |

I feel safer already knowing that mean, evil copyright violators will no longer be walking the streets, trying to do mean nasty things.
