I found someone uploaded to TPB the files Aaron downloaded from JSTOR.
https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8014584/
This raises some interesting questions, such as
1. Are they really the same files that Aaron obtained?
I read that he did not succeed in getting all the ones he wanted to get.
2. If so, how were they obtained? From Aaron's copy? I read that
Aaron promised not to post them, and probably erased them.
It might be better not to say they were "uploaded to the Pirate Bay",
since that's not the way the Pirate Bay works. Didn't the prosecutors
falsely claim that the Pirate Bay redistributed copies?
