Re: [Vo]:JSTOR Archives Open

I don't agree with you in this particular case.  From what I read, the 
authors of the papers at JSTOR get paid nothing it all goes to the 
company.  It was a victimless crime and JSTOR didn't want to prosecute 
and had settled with Swartz in June.
How can you justify charging him a million dollar fine and up to 35 
years in prison?  A murderer here in Philadelphia would be unlucky to 
serve ten years and of course pay no fine.  The justice system is a farce.
Ortiz had someone put away for 17 years as a terrorist - for what he 
said.  He never did anything.  I thought free speech was protected, 
particularly when it wasn't liked.
I hope you signed the petition.
