I'm having a lot of trouble following all this media storm due to the Swartz suicide. The guy obviously did something illegal against a very big organization. It could not come as a shock to him the consequences would be severe. And yet, when caught he commits suicide. And now he is a martyr... Can you imagine the pain his family is in right now just because this guy had to commit illegal acts and couldn't pay for his crimes?
