The 'several federal laws every day' angle is there to remind each and every one of us that we could be treated like Aaron Swartz, whether we think we're violating a law or not. You mean "convince", not "remind". You're trying to persuade people here, not remind them of something they already believe. Bear this in mind when trying to refer to what you think "the real problem" is, else you might say things that only sound convincing to people that already share your views.
