        Original Note:
        Aaron Swartz's charges were criminal, not civil; thus JSTOR did not and could not have "pursued" charges against Swartz. According to Swartz's attorney Marty Weinberg, JSTOR even supported a plea deal that would have given Swartz no jail time.    https://web.archive.org/web/20130117062007/http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/01/15/humanity-deficit/bj8oThPDwzgxBSHQt3tyKI/story.html  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Swartz
