While I don't really approve defacement, that was not the point in my comment. If the defacement would have been done to DOJ (or whatever front the prosecutors have) website, I might have disapproved but still at least I would have found the target appropriate.

As you self say, it is the government that was "overstepping the mark". Attack them instead of MIT which was pretty much the least evil party in the whole case best to my knowledge.

You're thinking of JSTOR. MIT wanted Aaron to rot in prison.

Not really. You should read what information is available on the case, and the MIT report when it comes out in the near future.
