From the JSTOR website (http://about.jstor.org/participate-jstor/worldwide-access)

"Our ultimate long-term objective is to make JSTOR available to everyone who wants access to it, while doing so in a way that ensures sustainability of the service."

Cynically, it seems like the bit about "ensures sustainability" can be translated as "we will aggressively prosecute in order to protect our bloated salaries."




The salaries of Ithaka Harbors Inc. (JSTOR's holding company), a supposedly not-for-profit organisation are indeed bloated. See pp. 7-8, 23, 26 of http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2009/133/857/2009-1338...


For those that don't like reading, the document describes multiple employees of the "nonprofit" with compensation in excess of 200k.


JSTOR's not doing any prosecution. In fact, if you read other comments / stories, it sounds like they don't want the DA to prosecute him.
