I think it's a bigger change than with JSTOR specifically, so I'm skeptical that connection is the root cause. Another example, completely unrelated to IP, is that MIT used to quasi-tolerate tunnel/roof exploration, and in any case certainly didn't report students to the cops for it. But now they charge students with felonies for doing it: http://tech.mit.edu/V127/N4/hackers.html
