Full copy of indictment against Aaron Swartz

http://j.mp/rlDRbz  (MIT)

     Between September 24, 2010, and January 6, 2011, Swartz contrived to:
     a. break into a restricted computer wiring closet at MIT; 
     b. access MIT's network without authorization from a switch within that
        closet; 
     c. connect to JSTOR's archive of digitized journal articles through MIT's
        computer network; 
     d. use this access to download a major portion of JSTOR's archive onto his
        computers and computer hard drives; 
     e. avoid MIT's and JSTOR's efforts to prevent this massive copying,
        measures which were directed at users generally and at Swartz's illicit conduct
        specifically; and 
     f. elude detection and identification;
        all with the purpose of distributing a significant proportion
        of JSTOR's archive through one or more file-sharing sites
