> illegally distributing protected content

Aaron never did that. He may have been planning that but nobody can say this for a fact.




Like Philip Greenspun says, for all we know he wanted to do metaanalysis. There's no evidence at all he planned to distribute the files.


Really? Not sure if it is just me but i found the JSTOR.torrent years ago and I always assumed it was from Aaron, the file was big like 35gb, I know there is another branded Aaron torrent floating around somehwere

Ah worked it out, someguy did it a while ago, http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6554331/Papers_from_Philosoph... and released his version as a tribute to Aaron. Mystery solved.
