Came here to see that Aaron Swartz was mentioned, for people to remember and to learn about him and his incident. I don't see it as MIT "doing the right" thing

Came here to see that Aaron Swartz was mentioned, for people to remember and to learn about him and his incident.
I don't see it as MIT "doing the right" thing, as much as virtue signaling. As an institution and bureaucracy it tries to self-preserve. Either by saying "he are against technology being used for piracy" or "we are for the open spread of information". Of course I am cynical, but I don't think MIT decided this out of the "goodness" of their heart.
