FBI Investigated Coder for Liberating Paywalled Court Records
,----[ Quote ]
| When 22-year-old programmer Aaron Swartz decided last
| fall to help an open-government activist amass a public
| and free copy of millions of federal court records, he
| did not expect heâd end up with an FBI agent trying to
| stake out his house.
|
| [...]
|
| âI think its pretty silly they go after people who use
| the library to try to get access to public court
| documents,â Swartz said. âIt is pretty silly that
| instead of calling me up, they sent an FBI agent to my
| house.â

Official Word from US Courts -- Feel Free to Use RECAP With Our Blessing
,----[ Quote ]
| I got a call this afternoon from Michel Ishakian, the Deputy Chief for IT
| Policy and Budget at the Administrative Office of the United States courts.
| She assured me that they have no problem with counsel using RECAP (discussed
| here) and that the language sent out by the Northern District of Georgia (see
| my update to my previous post) is the only language that she disseminated for
| publication.
