Ask HN: are there any more Aaron Swartzs in trouble because of such things?

We already have lost one and we should not lose more of such souls. What can we do to prevent such a thing? Shouldn't there be blanket rules for incriminating some individual for such frauds in which nobody is physically hurt. I think what Aaron did, didn't hurt anyone physically (and even emotionally). If DOJ even has a possible way of putting up 35 years for such a thing, the system is definitely faulty. I think DOJ needs some blanket restrictions on such things like the sentence can never be more than 4-5 years in the worst case.
