Aarnon was propagating open access across the globe. Aarnon was facing legal charges for downloading 4 million articles from JSTOR which he intended to make available for free online. Though JSTOR dropped the legal charges against him, the Federal Government, US was up in the arms with him. Aaron wrote RSS Specification when he was just 14.
