You don't have to believe them. You can look at the court records yourself, or any number of public case summaries[1].

To quote:

> Opting not to pursue a civil lawsuit against him, JSTOR reached a settlement with him in the summer of 2011 in which Swartz turned over the downloaded data to them. It was never released to the public. Neither did MIT take any civil action against him.

The lawsuit was a purely Justice initiative.

The problem with referring to the official record is that one misses what isn't in the official record.
