JSTOR didn't want prosecution and arguably neither did MIT.
I can't stand these justifications that seem to make everyone a slave to the machine. Heck, you and I break hundreds of laws a day, maybe even a felony or two or three. Federal prosecutors can do whatever they want with us. We have no power over them. We can at least expect them to go after real crime with real victims instead of political activists.
If we lived by these "go by the letter of the law and prosecute everyone who breaks any law" ideals then literally everyone except newborns would be in prison.
