That may be so, but IIRC he was charged with breaking into MIT's networking room and illegally tapping into their network to get the articles:

That also may be so, but 35 years is fucked up for that. pretty sure child porn first time offenders is like 15 to 30 so hacking MIT for stuff that should have been free gets you more jail time then a first CP offence. OK thats fucked up
