Are you referring to his work on PACER? Although the FBI made him the
subject of an active investigation, there were no charges brought
against him from his PACER downloads. There was also no resulting
copyright litigation. As for his work on JSTOR, regardless of the
charges there was no distribution of content from his machine, so I am
not sure why you would cite that either...
