That plea bargan would have required pleading guilty to 13 separate felonies, which were wild inventions anyway, since Swartz was a JSTOR account holder, downloading files that JSTOR made available to him under their own terms. He would have a very hard time getting a job as a felon, the plea bargain would have ruined his life.
