JSTOR
According to state and federal authorities, Swartz used JSTOR, a digital repository,[74] to download a large number[ii] of academic journal articles through MIT’s computer network over the course of a few weeks in late 2010 and early 2011.… The authorities said Swartz downloaded the documents through a laptop connected to a networking switch in a controlled-access wiring closet at MIT.[14][80] …
