MIT Hacked for ‘Grotesque Miscarriage of Injustice’ After 26-Year-Old Hacktivist Commits Suicide

Anonymous Hacks MIT Website After Internet Activist Aaron Swartz Found Dead in New York City Apartment

The hactivist collective Anonymous defaced the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) website over the weekend after the death of a 26-year-old regarded as an “Internet hero” who faced legal troubles for actions taken as he advocated for a free Internet.

Aaron Swartz was an activist for Internet freedom, co-founder of the social news site Reddit, and helped develop the technology behind RSS feeds, leading to his title as a “computer programming prodigy.” Swartz was found dead in his New York City apartment Friday, after committing suicide, which his family blames on the legal battle that began in 2011 after the computer genius published documents from the academic database JSTOR that would usually require a fee to download.

His death was “the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach,” his family said in a statement Saturday.

Swartz faced years in prison after federal prosecutors alleged that he illegally gained access to millions of academic articles through JSTOR. He allegedly hid a computer in a utility closet at the MIT and downloaded the articles before being caught by campus and local police in 2011. Swartz’s actions were part of a campaign to defeat a law that would have made it easier to shut down websites accused of violating copyright protections. He plead not guilty to the charges brought against him.

“The government used the same laws intended to go after digital bank robbers to go after this 26-year-old genius,” said Chris Soghoian, a technologist and policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union’s speech, privacy and technology project.

Watch WPIX’s report that had more details in Swartz’s death:

Anonymous hacked into MIT’s website posting a memoriam to Swartz. In addition to calling the lawsuit Swartz faced a “grotesque miscarriage of injustice,” the loosely connected collective of hackers wrote a list of “wishes” (via CNET):

We call for this tragedy to be a basis for reform of computer crime laws, and the overzealous prosecutors who use them.

We call for this tragedy to be a basis for reform of copyright and intellectual property law, returning it to the proper principles of common good to the many, rather than private gain to the few.

We call for this tragedy to be a basis for greater recognition of the oppression and injustices heaped daily by certain persons and institutions of authority upon anyone who dares to stand up and be counted for their beliefs, and for greater solidarity and mutual aid in response.

We call for this tragedy to be a basis for a renewed and unwavering commitment to a free and unfettered internet, spared from censorship with equality of access and franchise for all.

MIT’s website is back to normal as of Monday morning.

Shortly before being hacked by Anonymous, MIT’s President L. Rafael Reif issued a statement Saturday expressing his deepest sympathies to Swartz’s family and also stating that the university would launch its own investigation into MIT’s involvement leading to the legal situation Swartz was in before he died.

“I will not attempt to summarize here the complex events of the past two years. Now is a time for everyone involved to reflect on their actions, and that includes all of us at MIT,” Reif wrote in his statement. “I have asked Professor Hal Abelson to lead a thorough analysis of MIT’s involvement from the time that we first perceived unusual activity on our network in fall 2010 up to the present. I have asked that this analysis describe the options MIT had and the decisions MIT made, in order to understand and to learn from the actions MIT took. I will share the report with the MIT community when I receive it.”

JSTOR had dropped its case and even called the 13 charges brought against Swartz by the government seeking a prison sentence of at least seven years — up to 35 years according to some reports — excessive. Swartz’s attorney Elliot Peters told the Associated Press that JSTOR had sided with the 26-year-old after he “ gave the stuff back to JSTOR, paid them to compensate for any inconveniences and apologized.” MIT was neutral regarding Swartz’s prosecution. An early hearing was set for later this month with a trial beginning in April.

Although many agree with Swartz’s attorney that the case against him was “horribly overblown,” there are those who believe his alleged theft of the information was as harmful as that of physical property and should therefore carry a similar punishment.

“There are commercial reasons, and military and governmental reasons” why prosecutors feel they need tools to go after hackers, Theodore Claypoole, an attorney who has been involved with Internet and data issues for 25 years, said to the Associated Press. He said Swartz’s case raises the question of, “Where is the line? What is too much protection for moneyed interests and the holders of intellectual property?”

Nothing would make me happier than to hear that these criminals were finally caught and faced prosecution. 99% of the people calling for transparancy are anarchists, including the recently retired representative from Corpus Christi.

We are not a nation of “do what ever you want” we are a nation of laws, always have been.

  @SUPERMANSDAD:
  
  Our country was founded by a bunch of people not following laws. Did the founders have it wrong? Either you hate America or you’re for people sometimes breaking the law to obtain freedom. If you feel like hackers releasing evidence of our corrupt government murdering children isn’t a move towards freedom we can have that discussion.

  HUGE differences between releasing info about corruption and stealing data about college term papers. If you can’t understand that then no, there is no discussion. Now, as far as stealing data about corruption, it doesn’t change that it is theft. You can not break to the law to fix the law. The founders did something totally different, they fought an unjust and imoral law. There is a system in place for investigating corruption and against what anarchists will tell you, it usually works. Every day soldiers from Iraq/Crapghanastan are being prosecuted for actions taken over there ranging from murder to rape or fraud. It works. That piss ant Manning did nothing of the sort. He released diplomatic cables and inteligence about who was helping whom in the conflicts, he didn’t release info about atrocities. He didn’t do so because he was a conscientious objector or wittnessed the murder/torture of children/non-combatants. He released the info because he was upset the Army wouldn’t let him perfom ******* on his boyfriend.
  By the way, the majority of reports of murder/excessive force against civilians by troops was proven false. The video of the AH64 shooting unarmed “farmers” is a prime example: when the full truth came out it was justified. The reports of murdered/tortured children were usually similar, most were victims of insurgants that were blamed on troops, just like in Israel.
  
  So the true question is do you really hate America? Sounds like you do. Probably didnt ev

  You’re the one who used the broad stroke of ‘these criminals’ meaning you’re not just referring to Arron in this situation. I took that to mean Anonymous, Wikileaks, LuLzsec etc. Which based on your mention of anarchists isn’t that much of a stretch.
  
  Manning actually released video of soldiers murdering people in the streets. Search for ‘Collateral Murder’. So saying “That piss ant Manning did nothing of the sort.” is factually incorrect. Not sure how his sexual orientation plays into this but I’ll let you continue to worry about what he did in his bedroom.
  
  These people(Wikileaks) are trying to fight an unjust and immoral system. Aaron faced 50 years in jail while people on Wall Street who through their direct actions indirectly affected billions of people are still free and flush with cash. HSBC isn’t being prosecuted for helping fund terrorism and drug cartels. Ask your self which side the founders would have been on. I can promise you it wouldn’t be the banker’s side or the people murdering people in America’s name over seas.
  
  So back to you the one who hates Manning even though he exposed your murderous gov’t to you. Why do you hate America? Won’t you please take a stand instead of being angry at the people the machine tells you to be?

Yep … just mosey along now this doesn’t concern you … we’re looking out for your safety so don’t you worry about nothing … your freedoms, privacy and property are not really all that important.

A man willing to fight for the rights of others, who was able to garner the support of enough people to defeat a done deal in Congress just gives up and kills himself over a fight for his freedom with an unjust and unreasonable legal system … yep, people like that just do it all the time … keep moving now, nothing to concern your pretty little heads with here it’s more than obvious he just went and killed himself just like we see in the movies. AND, of course MIT knew all along what they were doing .. why” Because after the death they brilliantly NOW do what? “I have asked Professor Hal Abelson to lead a thorough analysis of MIT’s involvement from the time that we first perceived unusual activity on our network in fall 2010 up to the present. I have asked that this analysis describe the options MIT had and the decisions MIT made, in order to understand and to learn from the actions MIT took.

  Yes, he stole and he performed equivalent of espionage. By his own words, year old interview exists. To summarize:
  -Espionage: he used social engineering, slight of hand and deceit to first gain access to computer server room he was NOT authorized to access followed by illegal installation of his computer in that location with clear and admitted purpose to intercept protected computer communication at the source.
  -Stealing: Following his espionage setup he used his legal account to do WHAT HE ADMITS HE KNEW WAS ILLEGAL AND AGAINST THE CONTRACT HE SIGNED FOR THAT ACCCOUNT – use his illegally attached computer to steal bulk info from the servers.
  Equivalent action some other person may do against your interest:; brake in your bank server building, install a computer to scan and use your bank account with the excuse that he has account in that bank as well.
  This is a deep example of what happens when brilliant young man is raised with the wrong moral teaching. Eventually, reality and his utopian world view collided. Teach your children that morals are NOT relative. It is never right to steal, cheat, deceive … no matter the lofty goals of such actions. As immoral actions will always end badly for the person and the cause.

  He stole intellectual property. We let the Chinese do it because we think we have no leverage. He was guilty of the same thing, and he was about to face the consequences. Once again, a fragile personality with a skill does not get a free walk. the faster the “geniuses” learn this, the better off we will be.

I think it is sad that so many young people don’t understand that the basic ” moral laws” that we have followed for eons were just based on common sense behavior which led to the most law / order and happiness . The 10 Commandments have the key to living a peaceful, orderly, happy life. The young are so hung up on ” change” and defying rules that they have sabotaged their own futures and happiness. The power-hungry , Chicago radical Lefties have sold them a worn-out, dysfunctional , philosophical ” crock .” They are the Bernie Madoffs of politics. Sad. Pray for the kids.

  Lord Acton (1887) said it best: ” Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” Also see William Pitt the Elder 1770: “Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it.”

If someone does their creating in words rather than metal or plastic why should their hard work be any less valuable? Property is property and all property should be given the same degree of protection from those that wish to steal it. A thief is a thief whether they break into a bank, home or other building or into a computer full of valuable information. Truly, the punishments should be the same and I don’t think “white collar” crime should be treated with kid gloves as it is now. Throw the damn book at them.

  Oll Korrect. “[A]ll property should be given the same degree of protection from those that wish to steal it.” You will not be able to prosecute property left unattended on the Commons, be it real or virtual. See, e.g., legal requirements for storage of personal property in the home – guns.

  @Abe: There are a lot of costs associated with hosting such a large database of information, and it is not unreasonable to charge access fees. I completely agree with you and with the tenets of the “free culture”, though, and I suspect that much of the costs of hosting and distributing this information could be minimized or almost eliminated with a bit torrent system of distribution. The system that we have now creates a false scarcity and requires draconian punishments in order to maintain it.

It’s a shame that he took his own life, especially since it seemed motivated due to the government coming after him (despite JSTOR, who originally filed the case, dropping it). At that point it was only Uncle Sam being vindictive.

  You seem to forget that part of the purpose of the law is to maintain order for the benefit of both an individual victim and society in general. MIT may have reached a happy resolution for breaching their system, but they are not the only victims. The researchers whose intellectual property was stolen have not reached any settlement and the laws instituted by society were broken. I don’t agree with all laws passed, but I am required to follow them – I expect the same to hold true for others. The state has a duty to prosecute any and all law breakers to the fullest extent – judges get to decide any leniency. Otherwise we have anarchy.
  Ex. a man rapes a woman, is caught, and is scheduled to stand trial. He then voluntarily makes monetary restitution to the woman and does some community service. She states she is happy with that and doesn’t want him to prosecute. Well, as a member of society, that doesn’t work for me. I want him to lawfully stand trial and when convicted be labeled a rapist. It serves two purposes: it brings justice to society (lets us know that a person can’t buy their way above the law) and it provides a legal record of his crimes so that if he commits them again, we know not to be lenient.
  This guy was a thief and a coward – he just wasn’t expecting anyone to call him on it.

Anytime the term “common good” is thrown out as a reason for discourse, I cringe. One persons, common good, is another persons anathema. There is no common good, it is a term that is thrown around to cloud the issues. The common good is pure socialism, something that you cannot define as an internet right. Intellectual rights and maintaining those rights are a problem with an open internet and jokers like Swartz continue to muddy the waters. I still contend that people who consider themselves not guilty rarely commit suicide.

Perhaps if the “genius” thief had thought more about the consequences of his actions before the theft – he wouldn’t have been so distraught at the coming punishment. And perhaps had he had to face the reality of life (suffered other consequences growing up for his bad choices instead of being told he was a genius and getting participation trophies) he would have been prepared for the real world lesson that crime doesn’t pay

  I am with you on the ads. I know that I am going to discontinue my subscription to Blaze television and not support it anymore. Too much “flesh” and not enough about telling the truth. I am not disappointed in Glen Beck, it is to be expected. Maybe there was a glimmer of a chance that he was going to sincerely become a real man and a follower of Christ instead of a Mormon being safe, not speaking truth.
  It is sad about Schwartz committing suicide though. It seems that the rest of the country is unknowingly committing suicide as they embrace their leader and think that they will prosper if they follow the leader. I do hope and pray that we have enough good men left that can do something before it is too late.
