Jim and Tim discuss the recent arrest of Aaron Swartz, a 24-year-old internet activist and executive director of Demand Progress. Swartz is being brought up on charges of wire fraud and computer fraud among others with penalties of up to 30 years in jail and 1 million dollars in fines for breaking into a network closet at MIT and using scripts to download over 4 million journal articles from JSTOR. Were serious laws broken here? Should Swartz be defended for his actions or condemned for hurting the legitimacy of the open access movement?
