Joining Mr. Malamud’s efforts to make the documents public by posting legally obtained files to the Internet for free access, Mr. Swartz wrote an elegant little program to download 20 million pages of documents from free library accounts, or roughly 20 percent of the enormous database.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">The government shut down the free library program, and Mr. Malamud feared that legal trouble might follow even though he felt they had violated no laws.

I need to talk to a lawyer.”</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">Mr. Swartz recalled in a 2009 interview, “I had this vision of the feds crashing down the door, taking everything away.” He said he locked the deadbolt on his door, lay down on the bed for a while and then called his mother.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">The federal government investigated but did not prosecute.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">In 2011, however, Mr. Swartz <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/20/us/20compute.html" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">went beyond that</a>, according to a federal indictment. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In an effort to provide free public access to JSTOR, he broke into computer networks at M.I.T. by means that included gaining entry to a utility closet on campus and leaving a laptop that signed into the university network under a false account, federal officials said.</span></p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">Mr. Swartz turned over his hard drives with 4.8 million documents, and <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">JSTOR declined to pursue the case</span>. But Carmen M.

JSTOR says it needs the money to collect and to distribute the material and, in some cases, subsidize institutions that cannot afford it.

That should never have been considered a criminal activity.”</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">Mr. Swartz did not talk much about his impending trial, Quinn Norton, a close friend, said on Saturday, but when he did, it was clear that “it pushed him to exhaustion. It pushed him beyond.”</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">Recent years had been hard for Mr. Swartz, Ms. Norton said, and she characterized him “in turns tough and delicate.” He had “struggled with chronic, painful illness as well as depression,” she said, without specifying the illness, but he was still hopeful “at least about the world.”</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: left;">Cory Doctorow, a science fiction author and online activist, posted a tribute to Mr. Swartz on <a href="http://boingboing.net/" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; " target="_">BoingBoing.net</a>, a blog he co-edits.

So dead, that when members of Congress propose something now that even touches the Internet, they have to give a long speech beforehand about how it is definitely not like SOPA. So dead, that when you ask Congressional staffers about it, they groan and shake their heads, like it's all a bad dream they're trying really hard to forget. So dead, that it's kind of hard to believe this story; hard to remember how close it all came to actually passing. Hard to remember how this could have gone any other way. But it wasn't a dream or a nightmare—it was all very real. And it will happen again; sure, it will have another name, and maybe a different excuse, and probably do its damage in a different way, but make no mistake, the enemies of the freedom to connect have not disappeared. The fire in those politician's eyes has not been put out. There are a lot of people, a lot of powerful people, who wanna clamp down on the Internet. And to be honest, there aren't a whole lot who have a vested interest in protecting it from all of that ... We won this fight because everyone made themselves the hero of their own story.
