I think we could reasonably argue about that; the entire database is freely available to anyone who goes into a major university library, etc., and unless posting the articles resulted in universities ceasing to subscribe to JSTOR (which seems unlikely) then they lose no significant revenue. But this is going off on a tangent.
Even if I concede that JSTOR would be financially harmed, it still shouldn't be a felony. Let them sue him for copyright infringement.
