To be fair, he broke and entered a networking closet as well. But I guess that is a separate issue.

broke what

The university AND jstor were pretty quick to get as uninvolved from that mess as quick as possible, so it really doesn't matter.... But what you're saying has nothing to do with the case and is also not true. "Broke and entered" implies forced physical access into a clearly forbidden area. The network closet was a room that was left unlocked and was frequently used by janitorial staff to put junk in.

IIRC (could be wrong) the closet was unlocked. So can we really call that "breaking and entering?"
