The alleged victims did not pursue civil litigation, and there was criticism following Swartz's arrest such as "a respected Harvard researcher ... has been arrested ... based on allegations that he downloaded articles that he was entitled to get free". After Swartz's suicide, Stinebrickner-Kauffman and computer security consultant Alex Stamos, who would have been the defense's chief expert forensic witness at Swartz’s trial, said that Swartz had been unfairly targeted by the prosecution.〔(Appearance on Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman & Juan González, ''Exclusive: Aaron Swartz’s Partner, Expert Witness Say Prosecutors Unfairly Targeted Dead Activist'', 17 January 2013. ) Retrieved 24 January 2013.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
