Huge Trove of Academic Docs Posted Online in Response to Activist Arrest |
Threat Level | Wired.com
Just two days after activist hacker Aaron Swartz was charged with hacking
for downloading too many academic articles, a giant collection of articles
from the same service has been posted to the notorious file sharing search
engine, The Pirate Bay.
The documents are allegedly 18,952 scientific articles from the
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society that were downloaded at some
point from the scholarly archive service JSTOR. JSTOR is the same service
that Swartz is accused of stealing from for downloading 4 million articles
via a guest account at MIT.
