Maximum amperage draw for 1/10th of a second is not usually taken into account, breakers don't usually blow that fast because of a current spike. (Those numbers are usually not on the specification sheet either.)
The maximum load is calculated over a period of time, not a very short period of time. It is in this fuzzy gap that issues like this arrive.
He didn't just scrape data; he smuggled a laptop into a cabinet to do it.
I feel like his pre-existing mental health issues did him in.
No it isn't. Did these companies illegally bypass IP bans by installing computers inside networks to steal data? Because that's what he did.
He trespassed and installed a computer on the network, he didn't just cause downtime by hammering the server to fetch documents.
What he did was a lot more intrusive than "civil disobedience".
He tried to off himself before he was ever threatened with prison.
He was mentally unstable and instead of accepting that he needed help them blame the government.
He was used by the people wanting to liberate data, and he died for it.
Manuals often show the contract of a service call, but not the intent, context is often missing from documentation. (I'll take 1980s documentation over whatever the fuck people think documentation is today)

Steve Jobs was good because he knew when to say no.
Your inability to frame it correctly is the problem.
The story is bullshit. Can't expect journalists to do their job anymore.
Why did they take the job in the first place? This isn't new behavior.
FSF has spent years trying to convince people that they are open source.
Open source has existed before them, or their license has existed, and it'll exist long after.
It's interesting to me that you're so sensitive about something that virtually nobody should be sensitive about. A little too close to home? Hmm.
When you're done, maybe you should review the mental health of several members of FSF. It's eye opening.
FSF doesn't represent my interests in any serious way, I believe in open source, but FSF are pathological.
