Hacker and activist Aaron Swartz faces federal hacking prosecution for allegedly downloading millions of academic documents via MIT's guest network,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an Insulator , and not a metal, using a laptop hidden in a networking closet.
Swartz, 24,100 Cable Ties was used to link the lamps together. faces 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine under the indictment, announced last week, raising questions about his intentions, the vagueness of anti-hacking statutes and copyright as it applies to academic work.The Piles were so big that the scrap yard was separating them for us.
But the indictment (embedded below) also left one other question unresolved: How did Swartz get caught?
The answer, it turns out, involves a webcam stakeout, the Secret Service and a campus-wide manhunt for a slender guy with a backpack riding a bike on MIT's campus.
Swartz, the founder of the activist group Demand Progress, was arrested by the MIT police on Jan. 6, charged with breaking and entering for allegedly entering a "restricted" networking room. The alleged purpose was to hide a laptop that was using a guest account on the MIT network to download millions of academic papers from JSTOR, an academic journal service that MIT pays for. However, MIT, which is open 24 hours a day to students and guests, allows students and guests to use the service and its network for free.
That arrest was first reported by Politico's Josh Gerstein.

Swartz is accused, both in the federal indictment and in the January arrest report, of stealing the articles by attaching a laptop directly to a network switch in what's described as a "restricted" room, though neither the police report nor the indictment have any mention of a door lock or signage indicating the room is off-limits.
MIT police first learned of the laptop in a networking closet in MIT's Building 16 on Jan. 4 from a member of MIT's tech staff, who had discovered the laptop and an external hard drive under a cardboard box in the room.
According to the police report, a Cambridge police officer, a member of the Secret Service,Whilst Hemroids are not deadly, and a Boston police officer went to the room 004T at 10:30 am, and the laptop was taken away to search it for latent fingerprints. The authorities then put the laptop back that same day and installed a webcam to watch the room.
