Professor Hutchins says Mr. Swartz had legal accounts with JSTOR and with MIT, through Harvard University.
A Court of Appeals ruled that his actions violated user agreements and could be considered criminal. However, Professor Hutchins notes that a more recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court disagreed.
"Unknowingly we may all be violating the terms of those agreements every single day, in multiple ways. And what the Ninth Circuit said is that's really not the business of the federal criminal statute, that's not what they were going for."
Aaron Swartz's family accused the United States Attorney's office of fighting a crime that had, in their words, "no victims." And they criticized MIT for refusing to "stand up for Aaron."
MIT has called for its own investigation of its involvement in the case.
More than 40,000 people have signed a petition at the White House website for citizen opinions. It calls for the District Attorney in the case to be removed from office. The District Attorney has said the office acted appropriately in its handling of the case.蕾妮·哈钦斯是马里兰大学的法学教授。
哈钦斯教授表示，斯沃茨先生通过哈佛大学获得了西文过刊全文库和麻省理工学院的合法账户。
上诉法院裁定他的行为违反了用户协议，可判定为刑事犯罪。然而，哈钦斯教授表示最近第九巡回法庭的裁决却与此不同。
“我们每天都会不知不觉的在许多方面违反这些协议的条款。因此，第九巡回法庭认为这的确不是刑事犯罪，他们也不打算将其判定为刑事犯罪。”
阿伦·斯沃茨的家人指控美国联邦检察官办公室打击一项根本“没有受害者”的犯罪。他们也指责麻省理工学院拒绝为斯沃茨辩护。
麻省理工学院已经要求就自身在此案中的涉案情况开展独立调查。
已有超过4万人在白宫官网的公民意见栏中签名请愿，要求罢免处理此案的地方检察官的职务。这名地方检察官曾表示法院对此案的处理十分得当。
