The document discusses Open Access and how it relates to the story of Aaron Swartz. It provides background on Open Access, including that it allows work to be published online for free access. It also discusses different models of Open Access like gold, green, and hybrid. The document suggests Swartz's actions may have been motivated by advocating for more open access to scholarly articles. However, his methods were illegal and controversial. The incident has brought more attention to debates around public access to scholarly work.

Editor's Notes
- #5: Began meeting in the mid-1640s to discuss the new philosophy of promoting knowledgeof the natural world through observation and experiment, which we now call science.Its official foundation date is 28 November 1660, when a group of 12 met at Gresham College after a lecture by Christopher Wren, then the Gresham Professor of Astronomy, and decided to found 'a Colledge for the Promoting of Physico-MathematicallExperimentall Learning'. This group included Wren himself, Robert Boyle, John Wilkins, Sir Robert Moray, and William, Viscount Brouncker.First Royal Charter, which was granted by King Charles II in 1662.John Evelyn's Sylva and Micrographia by Robert Hooke in 1662.Philosophical Transactions is now the oldest scientific journal in continuous publication.1,450 Fellows and Foreign Members, including more than80 Nobel Laureates.Each year 44 Fellows, 8 Foreign Members and up to 1 Honorary Fellow are elected from a group of over 700 candidates who are proposed by the existing Fellowship. Fellowship from 1660 to 2007 is available for download (PDF).The word "scientist," meant to refer to a systematically working natural philosopher, (as opposed to an intuitive or empirically minded one) was coined in 1833 by William Whewell.

- #12: Right to Research statement:http://www.righttoresearch.org/learn/whyOA/index.shtmlOpen Access seeks to return scholarly publishing to its original purpose: to spread knowledge and allow that knowledge to be built upon. Price barriers should not prevent students (or anyone) from getting access to research they need. Open Access, and the open availability and searchability of scholarly research that it entails, will have a significant positive impact on everything from education to the practice of medicine to the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate.

- #17: Accessed network on multiple occasions between September 24, 2010, and January 6, 2011; arrested removing laptop from wiring closet. Aaron Swartz is the founder of Demand Progress. He previously co-founded the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, watchdog.net, Open Library, Jottit, and Reddit.com. He is co-author of the RSS 1.0 specification and helped launch Creative Commons.Charges are hacker crimes, not copyright infringement crimes.
- #18: Greg Maxwell, who recently uploaded a 33GB file of JSTOR articles onto The Pirate Bay in protest of the Swartz indictment. (Maxwell says the file contains the whole pre-1923 public domain archive of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.Making a profit off of public domain works is allowed; indeed, it's half the point. E.G., Penguin Classics. Lessig on record saying Swartzs actions were unethical, but probably not illegal. Max Kennerly, Philly lawyer says this appears to be a civil claim that some overly aggressive prosecutor is trying to dress up as a federal crime.In 2008, Swartz, taking advantage of a free trial of PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), a government database of court records, cleverly automated a download of nearly 20 million pages. This was in response to the call of information activist Carl Malamud for donations of downloaded PACER documents, which ordinarily cost eight cents per page. Malamud's position is that since the public owns these documents, access to them should be easy and free of charge online. In the event, Swartz hadn't broken any laws, so the Feds were forced to drop their investigation. Perhaps a certain resentment lingered.
