Aaron Swartz stole a major portion of JSTOR's archive
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 17 2013 @ 10:58 PM EST
I posted about this before. My dictionary includes in its definition of
steal, the intention to not return the property to its owner. But
JSTOR does not demand that normal readers of its documents
return them when finished reading.

I think JSTOR understands the difference between a physical document
that can be stolen, and an e-document that can't. MIT should know
the difference but they seem to be having some academic introspection.
In spite of the average age of the SCOTUS bench being younger than
The Rolling Stones, it looks like DoJ has a long way to go before
they understand.

Maybe it's better to take their dishonest terminology and run with it, in the
spirit of the "copyright math" Youtube video.

"Last week I went to Grand Canyon National Park with a camera, and stole
the view from all the overlooks on the South Rim."

"Today I took out the Yellow Pages, and stole a phone number by typing it
into my phone."

"I'm starting a public-service committee to create TV advertisements to
teach third-graders that they can't do arithmetic without stealing the
multiplication tables."
