Oggetto: [Hackmeeting] Thousands of scientific papers uploaded to The Pirate Bay
A user called Greg Maxwell just uploaded a torrent with 18,592
scientific publications to The Pirate Bay, in what appears to be a
protest directed both at the recent indictment of programmer Aaron
Swartz for data theft as well as the scientific-publishing model in
general. All of the documents of the 32-gigabyte torrent were taken from
JSTOR, the academic database that’s at the center of the case against
Swartz.
