The Internet's Own Boy (Aaron Swartz Documentary)
 

Has anyone watched this?

It was on free to air TV a few nights ago and I have to say, I never realised just how amazing this young guy was.

He helped develop RSS when he was 13 to 14 years old, helped get a huge number of startups off the ground.

He was probably the reason SOPA never came to be.

Such a waste of life, it makes you wonder what other amazing things this guy could have achieved if he were still alive.

If you get a chance, watch the documentary, he led an amazing life in a very short time.

it's insane to me how hard the government tried to fuck him.

The government's role is to control. It's purpose is self-perpetuation.

None of this should surprise anyone who is actually awake and paying attention.

Then they have the audacity to change the out of date law and call it 'Aaron's Law' - after he is dead.

It seems so convenient for the powers that be reactive all the time rather than proactive...

The people who went after Aaron intially should be strung up.

law is dead isn't it?

Here's the full movie on youtube. I am looking forward to watching it.

Down to last 10 min now, thank you :thumbsup

They reformed the old "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act" to "Aaron'ts Law Act" - whether that law is dead now - not sure ? is it?

Who knows...really doesn't matter since they abuse and ignore "laws" anyway...but one thing is for sure HE IS DEAD! :mad:

Yes and it is sad that so many useless fucks still remain alive and one who had so much to offer is dead!

Like with "Sterling", they won't spare their own.

"What's better than a hero? A dead hero."

Does anyone really believe that it was suicide?

I had read about him, he had issues and depression.

'they' killed aaron swartz but leave alex jones alive....what a world!
