From the Cory Doctorow link in the OP:
Even though MIT and JSTOR (the journal publisher) backed down, the prosecution kept on. (...) A couple of lawyers close to the case told me that they thought Aaron would go to jail.
Yes, that’s what I was referring to. It is crazy.
JSTOR’s first best outcome was probably for Swartz to go to jail while having people think that JSTOR didn’t want him to go to jail.
JSTOR weaseled, but this will follow Kevin Guthrie and Laura Brown for the rest of their lives. As it should.
Too optimistic.
