Aaron Swartz was accused in 2011 to have downloaded more than 4,8 million scientific articles from JSTOR to make them freely available. He faced 1 million $ fine and 35 years in jail.
He suicided in 2013 while on trial at the age of 26.
What have you contributed to, Sup Forums?
>Schwartz
it's because obama didn't want to give him a presidential pardon
>Aaron Swartz
1. Why not accept a plea bargain of 6 months granted the deep deep shit you find yourself in.
2. Why make the downloads so fucking noticeable as to raise flags instantaneously? didn't he think that part of the plan through?
>1. Why not accept a plea bargain of 6 months
>he wants to spend 6 months in a US prison
You're gayer than OP
>implying anyone above the age of 14 cares about le ebin python warrior :DDDDDD
This.
We don't care. Fuck the public domain. Who gives a shit about some gay science papers?
>I'm too redpilled for science
>not a 14y/o mindset
I mean, it's important work, but committing suicide instead of going to court and vindicating yourself with your obvious Jewish connections and influence is just a level of faggotry that's completely beneath this site.
Suicide is a practical and highly effective solution to all of life's problems.
He was probably on a bucketload of Xanax, he made so many retarded mistakes.
(((suicided)))
>sci-hub exists
>he died for literally nothing
lmao
Then kys
I want to seed something productive like eBook collections but I'm not really sure what people might want.
I thought about a Project Gutenberg rip but it gets updated so often that a torrent sounds shit.
Maybe build a curated collection from archive.org but then I'm not sure what I'd like to include.
Lol
Also who tf needs those papers? Not like any neckbeard would read them in a basement. Any serious researcher would know how to get them or their boss/department/university should provide them already.
you never met them cuz ur a brainlet nigger
>Any serious researcher would know how to get them or their boss/department/university should provide them already.
It isn't like any serious researcher reads 99% of the shit on JSTOR anyway, 90% of it is citation farming.
Ya all over jstor. Mit wanted to make "u can't do that" example of him. He used laptop to collect jstor documents in their facility which had access to those mostly search database docs which cost money.
ay fuck that reddit nigger
Even the richest universities in the West struggle to pay the price to access scholarly papers.
Now you sometimes have to pay to be published as an academic, then have your university to pay for you to read your own paper.
An 90% of the research is from public institutions funded through taxpayer money.
>Even the richest universities in the West struggle to pay the price to access scholarly papers.
Only Germany user, only Germany.
Ok retard

Never travel outside of western Europe senpai, haggling isn't your strong point.
When I'm in my university's network I get access to everything I find freely and instantly.
>deplorable Ashkenazi ghetto inbreeding
stopped reading there
((( science )))
Moldbug is a inbred Ashkenazi jew tho, he's speaking from experience, or didn't you know jews get genetic testing done before they get married to avoid inbreeding and genetic disorders?
>or didn't you know jews get genetic testing done before they get married to avoid inbreeding and genetic disorders?
Then what's the problem?
Jealous your parents didn't do that?
Ha! Yes
Point taken. This is actually very true.
So? It's not my job to get papers. The department should provide me. And holds true in my case too.

Sup Forums get out
You don't know shit until you've worked as a academic librarian, those books the libraries spend a fortune on every year? they all go unread, all those philosophy texts the humanities department orders? haven't been checked out in 20 years. Meanwhile the stuff Freud published has waiting lists for the paper versions because the marketing department loves him and his nephew.
He was a genius u fucking faggot, something you will never understand
This is nu Sup Forums.
Are you, like, a crude pattern matching algorithm trained on Sup Forums posts? The author is pretty obviously making fun of himself there.
>not implying that life itself is a problem and that the only solution to it is death
I'm sorry Sup Forums but a board that loves Stallman and Sussman is just not the right board for you.
>ctrl+f Keynesian
>0 results
Thoroughly disappointed.
I hope NK really does nuke America.
...those are both Jews, aren't they?
On a scale of 1 - 10, Americans, what were the chances this guy would REALLY be sentenced to jail time? A millionaire millenial type?
Did he really need to an hero?
An 8 but he wouldn't have stayed there for long anyway.
>believing that Jews have automatic connections and influence
Identity politics in action
No my point being that nu Sup Forums is so far gone that Aaron is anything other than a tragedy to them.
The kid was smart, went to a good school, could probably get good legal representation.
I haven't looked into the matter, but I feel that his parents would have been able to help him out too, had he not gone and an heroed.
It was not just the jail time. It was the probation that would ban him from using a computer afterwards that killed him. It was MIT dropping all of their principles and fucking him over that killed him. They were going to Kevin Mitnick his ass.
Not American, but around 1 or 2. His parents were relatively well-off so they could have easily hired a decent lawyer and he'd end up paying a fine or doing social work at worst.
He killed himself off because he got evicted from MIT and had severe depression.
>2017
>believing in (((science)))
Yeah right. WHo needs science anyway? It's all bullshit anti-white SJW propaganda. All you need is COMMON SENSE but they don't teach you that in school anymore.
And he had all that reddit dosh he could have thrown at it.
Completely forgot who he was, aside from JSTOR an hero, don't even know why I thought of him as a 22y/o college kid.
They threw that ridiculous threat at him to force him to plea bargain for 18 months. He offed himself from depression and the prospect of getting his butthole reguarly torn open.
>steal shit that doesn't belong to you
>think you have the right to determine the scope and use of someone elses property.
He deserved the punishment, his life isn't worth the damages he caused, yet he even cheated his way out of that.
>>steal
How to spot the good goy, starter pack.
I just respect property rights
he was murdered because he didn't want to turn reddit into the echo-chamber shillground it is now. You guys are honestly so naive.
Nothing personal, but i currently download movies.
The point is, you're not downloading movies under the presence that they should be free in the public domain.
You don't think so have some human right to those movies.
he was very worried about his legacy until Trump got in and just nuked the whole thing anyway. not that a bunch of executive orders is really much of a "legacy" anyway....
>I'm cutting off this girl's penis, FOR SCIENCE!!!!
oh, you mean those people you share a site with, yeah I'm sure they'll leave real quick....
I saw some very heavy mental gymnastics. Even DMCA fags would laugh on it.
they can only get Cali so yeah bring it on rocketman
Based on latest news they can reach NYC. They also have submarines, so with some help they can nuke anywhere.
>implying Sup Forums share anything with other boards except /r9k/'s MGTOWs
They raid /his/ too.
>4.8mi
get on my level kid
they're on every board you're on and probably more it's kind of crazy you don't realize this. snowflake syndrome I guess.
well now he is spending a eternity in hell for killing himself. why do autist never think their actions through?
Yes they're able to shitpost on every board but they're constantly BTFO. They don't do very well outside their hugbox, just look at how they're meme'd to death on /his/...
>TRIGGERED snowflake Xd lol cuck
Ok
Internet Hall of Fame. He was a good lad
There's no such thing as intellectual property.
Commie shit got what he deserved, no reason to suck his dick.
This, if anything incriminating someone for having certain combinations of 1's and 0's is just as retarded.
>4,8 million scientific articles from JSTOR
let me guess, you had to pay to get access to those articles for research purposes
I think it's imperative for the future that science becomes open-source
What do librarians think about people renting bido gaymes and shit?
Aaron Schwartz is the model jew, why cant we get more jews to follow the path of Dr Richard Stallman? If all jews would follow the path of freedom like Aaron we would live in a free'er society as a whole
>(((suicided)))
this, desu
>Did he really need to an hero?
no.
>Did they really need him to an hero?
yes.
ITT faggots that never wrote a paper.
To write any paper or even a thesis you need to cite a shitload of papers, that's why most of the academic world use scihub.
JSTOR and the like are literally holding progress back.
Are u his manly gf
If so fuck off to Reddit
If not fuck off to Reddit
He was involved/dating a single mother...not a good thing to do at his age and with depression.
Also, does anyone know why he left the laptop downloading the journals on the chair in the middle of the room? He could have hidden it behind the server rack couldn't he?
Remind me again why I should give a fuck?
u fgt

I have to say Sup Forums you really knocked one out of the park this time
>someone tries to make money by putting ads on their web pages along with their content
what a jew! how dare you try to make money from your content!
>someone charges money for their content
fuck you! I'll just torrent it because I am so smart, I have beaten you!
>someone uses a tiny fraction of your cpu to mine crypto while you consume their content, drops in the proverbial bucket
eww no! I need every single ounce of my computing power to pirate exabytes of trap loli scat garbage >:(
>someone tries to make academic papers and journals freely available
what a retard!
I have to say, Sup Forums may be the definitive KING of contradictory belief systems and cognitive dissonance.
stay retarded, fags
intellectual "property" is a disgrace.
It always rustled my james slightly when I hear americans talking about how they can't even seed torrents without getting in trouble from their ISP?????
what the actual FUCK americans?
>implying Sup Forums is one person
There's websites with accounts upvotes and shit if imageboards are too much for you
Everyone's out to get you except me.
he's our jew pirate hero
Would prison rape really be likely in the kind of institution he would have been put into?
