Aaron Swartz was expert in database extracting and analysis. In 1998 he downloaded datasheets from Stanford which led to reveal of law professors who were corrupt. Just imagine he was now doing the same from MIT before he was caught maybe he was after the pedophiles with names as Negroponte and colleagues. Here is from a PUNITIVE DAMAGES REMUNERATED RESEARCH, AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION by Shireen A. Barday At one extreme, Merck itself has actually authored scholarly papers for medical journals, shopped them to well-known doctors, and then paid willing doctors thousands of dollars to affiliate with the already-written studies. An overarching problem with remunerated research is its use by the legal profession as objective and unbiased evidence. Even when an article has been discredited, the profession continues to rely upon it because there is no easy or systematic way to confirm its validity and/or funding source Law reviews freely publish sponsored work without examining the author’s financial interests; parties to litigation present sponsored work to the judiciary in the form of objective authority as referenced in briefs; and judges cite the work without any acknowledgement that a party or other interested source funded the author’s research stanfordlawreview.org/sites/default/files/articles/BardayPD.pdf
