Aaron Swartz didn't code malware into a project with the stated goal of destroying data.. and this has nothing to do with copyright infringement or an overzealous federal agency. How does this situation relate to what he went through?
- ceejayoz 4mo agoIt relates because they went after him for much less.
- infinite_spin 4mo agoI sincerely ask that you do not trivialize what happened to Aaron Swartz by linking what happened to him to any criminal actions on his part. He did nothing wrong.
- ceejayoz 4mo agoThat’s precisely the point. If his non-wrong acts could be criminally prosecuted like that, this case - intentional damage! - is even riskier.
