On July 19, 2011, Aaron Swartz was charged by Carmen Otiz, for wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully accessing a protected computer, and recklessly damaging a protected computer. This was due to Swartz attaching a laptop computer, to the MIT network, and using it's internal LAN to download a large number of papers, with the intent of making it available on publicly accessible websites, such as [[The Pirate Bay]]. The government prosecution argued that what Swartz did was indeed stealing.
