Special! Limit 3 per Customer

Authored by: MadTom1999 on Wednesday, January 16 2013 @ 02:29 PM EST

JSTOR's customer was MIT. They had unlimited access to their reports. MIT were
under no contractual obligation to limit the number of downloads per student.
Someone just thought someone was overdoing it and the response was completely
out of proportion.
If you had an apple tree and you told some kids they could take as many as they
wanted and they went away turned up with a truck and rather than admit your own
stupidity and tell them were no longer allowed access you shot them for stealing
the apples you said they could have I'd be inclined to call you a murderer not
someone defending their property.
