Aaron pulled mostly public domain documents from JSTOR and caused minor issues with the servers which is "a bit" different than pulling everything from the internet to a database over a practically global DDOS-attack. But when companies do it it's apparently somehow different and Swartz was pretty much publicly lynched and eventually bullied to suicide. permalink fedilink source parent
