		tchalla on Jan 14, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Aaron Swartz Died Innocent — Here Is the Evidence `It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away.` I would like to ask Ms. Ortiz if AaronSw indeed did "give away" or "steal" from the victim (JSTOR in this case)? If not, can we ask her to stop riding the high horse?

He did not. He returned the data to JSTOR. Later JSTOR gave away much of the data themselves

am i the only one who thinks this is not at all like stealing... if some one stole your car you'll not have it any more... you will be devoid of it... not the same in this case
