When Aaron Swartz downloaded some JStor articles with one single computer, and for much more noble reasons, the state hounded him to death.
“This is another instance of large, private companies making use of common-good public interest institutions in a way that's very extractive & just assumes that stuff is available & is free—& then using it to be able to produce highly commercial models that then they can go & sell back to people.”

Aaron Swartz. Same age as me. Disgusting how AI orgs have ingested the world's material without legal consequence. He merely took some academic articles from JSTOR.

They can take everything and garner $bns while they threw everything at him. And he is now gone.

Its these kinds of people where I'm genuinely unsure whether or not a JSTOR subscription would help or hurt.

i did have to reign myself in and decide once and for all that accuracy is not more important than the story itself and i’m not here to teach anybody anything. sighs and unzips and opens jstor.
