The article is excellent.
"Finally, I think the instinct to blame the prosecutors in this case should be checked because it is fueled in significant part by a human but improper motive: Making sense of Swartz’s suicide. When a young person commits suicide, there is a natural instinct to restore a sense of order to the world by finding someone to blame. We deal with the sense of shocking and unimaginable and senseless loss by pinning the blame on someone to create a tidy narrative of wrongful actor and wrongful act."
You can disagree with copyright law, mourn Aaron Schwarz, and yet not blame prosecutors for Aaron's suicide and have a sense of proportion.
