    Just make sure you avoid getting in trouble by using the facebook strategy of downloading so much that they shrug their shoulders instead of prosecuting

      Only works if you have a billion dollars though. If you do it on a big scale, they’re just going to Aaron Swartz you.

      The guy who started doing this (downloading academic articles and making them freely available en mass) was actually driven to suicide by a court case, so be careful with that.

      While he was alive tho, Aaron Schwartz was one cool dude.
