One of the first movies I watched on Netflix (we just got it) was "The Internet's own boy".
He was the typical overachiever, successful in almost anything he touched but finally he decided to hack justice. And broke a bunch of laws and went against a few institutions. JSTOR wasn't responsible, MIT might've been but he broke through enough barriers set up by them that Aaron did deserve a slight tap on his knuckles (the plea deal). And rather than take it he decided to end his life cause it meant the end of his political career. If he had been so volatile I wonder how he would've reacted had his earlier efforts elsewhere had failed.
