Aaron Schwartz Indicted on more Charges in MIT Break in

[Searching_ _ _]

Swartz, as you may recall, was initially indicted in July on charges that he broke into a secure network at MIT, hard-wired his computer to the network and illegally downloaded 4.8 million documents from the JSTOR database. He has apparently settled with JSTOR but not with U.S. prosecutors who indicted Swartz on charges of wire fraud, computer fraud, and unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer.

This latest indictment came today in Cambridge, Ma., the home of Harvard University. According to the Middlesex County District Attorney’s office, a grand jury indicted Swartz on charges of breaking and entering, larceny of electronic data, and unauthorized access to a computer network in connection with the illicit downloading of millions of academic articles.

Swartz will be arraigned Nov. 30 in Middlesex County court.
