It wasn't JSTOR's fault, and it wasn't MIT's fault.

Why, it can only be the government's fault!

It was a bit MIT's fault. It was a bit less JSTOR's fault. And it was a whole lot more the feds' fault.

And perhaps it was also a little bit Aaron Swartz's fault.

He was not doing anything that other people who faced no criminal charges did not do. He just did things differently.
