Could you reveal to me what case you’re talking about?

How is that case related to the article? The article is about paywalling law texts, which is quite different from privately owned texts.

The access was exclusively private. The information he got got for was case law. What the law literally is.

Ah yes, the Pacer case. Though that’s separate from the JSTOR case, which Swartz is most known for.

How the thugs justify their murder isnt my concern given that it all just comes down to stealing from me to murder people some of whom will eventually be me.

Privately owned texts about precedent, what the (case) law literally is.

The law! Buy my book to find out why you got arrested.
