[John Curran]

"The directive is seen as a watershed moment after a ten-year-long campaign that has involved a considerable amount of associations and activists, including Aaron Swartz, who was accused of downloading JSTOR articles, an action that was directly influenced by the open access ethos. "

FYI,
/John
