You are so fucking retarded it hurts. The intellectual journal industry is literally profiting billions from voluntary labor.
Why should a handful of corporations have the rights to knowledge that could be beneficial to the world? Making an open system for journal articles isn't communism or anarchism, it's not even socialism, it's just fucking the moral option. I'd be happy to fuck over a few billion dollar corporations so that innovations in medicine and technology could rapidly advance.

4chan is for alive people. It was made by alive people for other alive people.
4chan is also for people who don't get their feelings hurt easily and don't consider hurt feelings to be a big deal.
Aaron Swartz chose not to be alive cause his feelings hurt too much.

Hence Aaron Swartz is not fit to be the face of for any board on 4chan. He's not even the best fit for the face of /g/ among people who've killed themselves. That'd be Ian Murdock.

>>55521745
Actually, they're pretty similar. MIT doesn't write the laws, they just enforce them. Just like cops. Aaron Swartz decided to fuck over MIT by releasing the documents like BLM decided to fuck over cops who enforce the law. He's a noted SJW so he would probably support BLM if it was around today.

We'll likely never know if anyone actually benefited from it.
>>
>>55521763
Wow you're uninformed.
Releasing those artilces doesn't fuck over MIT in any way, and MIT don't enforce the laws he was charged with either. Get your facts straight kid.
Also painting the fight for intellectual freedom and violent race wars with the same brush just shows that you have no idea about how laws are formed nor what influences them.

Corporations that operate in a for-profit system within the capitalist system nearly always operate under the Anglo-Saxon heirarchy model. If you know anything about how a business works, this basically means that the primary focus is to repay stock-holders. The primary goal of every employee is dictated and supressed by a group of people with alot of money.

A corporation isn't a "fair" and "open" society for people. You can't compare a corporation with society you ignorant asshole. It's thinking like this that is becoming fucking dangerous

You're free with or without money.

Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for
themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries
in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of
private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the
sciences? You'll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier.

There are those struggling to change this. The Open Access Movement has fought
valiantly to ensure that scientists do not sign their copyrights away but instead ensure
their work is published on the Internet, under terms that allow anyone to access it. But
even under the best scenarios, their work will only apply to things published in the future.
Everything up until now will have been lost.

That is too high a price to pay. Forcing academics to pay money to read the work of their
colleagues? Scanning entire libraries but only allowing the folks at Google to read them?
Providing scientific articles to those at elite universities in the First World, but not to
children in the Global South? It's outrageous and unacceptable.

"I agree," many say, "but what can we do? The companies hold the copyrights, they
make enormous amounts of money by charging for access, and it's perfectly legal —
there's nothing we can do to stop them." But there is something we can, something that's
already being done: we can fight back.

Those with access to these resources — students, librarians, scientists — you have been
given a privilege. You get to feed at this banquet of knowledge while the rest of the world
is locked out. But you need not — indeed, morally, you cannot — keep this privilege for
yourselves. You have a duty to share it with the world. And you have: trading passwords
with colleagues, filling download requests for friends.

>>55529617
Meanwhile, those who have been locked out are not standing idly by. You have been
sneaking through holes and climbing over fences, liberating the information locked up by
the publishers and sharing them with your friends.

But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It's called stealing or
piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a
ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn't immoral — it's a moral imperative. Only
those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.

Large corporations, of course, are blinded by greed. The laws under which they operate
require it — their shareholders would revolt at anything less. And the politicians they
have bought off back them, passing laws giving them the exclusive power to decide who
can make copies.

There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and, in the
grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public
culture.

We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with
the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need
to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific
journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for Guerilla Open
Access.

With enough of us, around the world, we'll not just send a strong message opposing the
privatization of knowledge — we'll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?

They wouldn't drop the charges but they would have definitely had to lessen them considerably if they wanted a conviction. That's how the system works. You throw everything at a defendant and hope that some of it sticks. Too bad the kid never actually bothered to learn about the system of government that he claimed to be an expert on. Typical reddit.

If you are breaking a law to prove that it is just you must be prepared to face the consequences. Your punishment will help to highlight the injustice of the whole thing. Poor little jew boy never bothered to read anything outside his little tech bubble and apparently believed that he could just break the law and then get it overturned because he was just so special.

>On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by MIT police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet, and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT.
>breaking-and-entering charges
>a guest user account issued to him by MIT

>broke and entered with a key we gave you

Doesn't sound like he broke any laws to me. Sounds like bullshit is what it sounds like.
>>
>>55532100
Also, the laws he was charged under weren't exactly unjust in themselves, but the manner in which they were applied certainly was.

Connecting to an account which was given to you by the owners of the system hardly seems like it could be called "wire fraud".

In America courts are what ultimately decide what constitutes an illegal action. If he really believed that he was in the right then he should have let it go to trial and stood up for himself.

Not these rambling, distracted people on here.

I agree, doesn't mean what they did is right though.

Also going against the feds is always an uphill battle.

Honestly though, I've seen people get fucked by the FBI for much worse, so I really don't know why he thought he didn't have a chance. With a little bit of publicity, which shouldn't have been hard to muster for someone like him, the whole thing could have been stopped.

I really don't understand why he gg'd.

>On September 12, 2012, federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, which increased Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment and $1 million in fines. During plea negotiations with Swartz's attorneys, the prosecutors offered to recommend a sentence of six months in a low-security prison, if Swartz would plead guilty to 13 federal crimes. Swartz and his lead attorney rejected that deal, opting instead for a trial in which prosecutors would have been forced to justify their pursuit of Swartz

>he federal prosecution involved what was characterized by numerous critics such as former Nixon White House counsel John Dean as an "overcharging" 13-count indictment and "overzealous" prosecution for alleged computer crimes, brought by the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz
>>

>opting instead for a trial in which prosecutors would have been forced to justify their pursuit of Swartz

So he was all set to go to trial and then just killed himself? His lawyer must have given him the "you will probably get at least some jail time for this" speech and he couldn't handle it.

I don't think the jail time was the problem(but I imagine jail time would be at least 20 to 30 years lol). the guy was idealistic af(see documentary 'internet own boy') and he didn't want to plead guilty for what he believed wasn't wrong

>>
>>55535692
Very few of them are terrorists, but that doesn't make their culture any less extremist. The religion itself is extreme because it has yet to undergo reformation. Look at the laws in those countries the vast majority of those 1.5 billion live. These are countries that still use medieval punishments like canning, mutilation, amputation, stoning and beheading in modern law. Many offenses punishable by death or torture in these countries are for practicing the basic human liberties, such as using free speech to disagree with the state religion. The popular opinion and law in these nations is totally incompatible with our society.

>>55536691
some of those countries are currently powered by extremist parties, if you look back at Iran a few decades before it was a "normal" country. don't mix it with the people. I could call Americans democracy extremists since their country is invading others in the name of "democracy". I met a few Iranian immigrants and they hate their government.

read some history books, at least 20th century and see what Occident did in the middle-east. coming to the present, do you think ISIS came from nothing? a good part of their leaders are dissidents from Saddam Hussein's regime. US did wrong there, since the Iran–Iraq War.

>>55537274
But that obviously wasn't the case.. I mean if you looked at the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto it was extremely obvious he wanted to make it free for anyone to use.

tl;dr JSTOR argument isn't even valid; they just made that excuse so he could get arrested.
>>
>>55537385
the link with the manifesto and the jstor thing is debatable imo. close friends said he wanted to use the scientific articles to analyze academic behavior and partiality based on which companies were financing researches.
