The move comes in protest after a Harvard researcher was arrested this week, and intensifies a fight over open access to scientific records.
Yesterday, in response to this week's indictment of a 24-year-old Harvard researcher and Internet activist for allegedly hacking into MIT's network and collecting nearly five million scholarly articles, a second hacker released more than 18,592 (32 gigabytes) of subscription-only research obtained from the same service. The second man identified himself as Greg Maxwell, a 31-year-old 'technologist, recreational mathematician, and scientific hobbyist' from northern Virginia.
