The negative comments here are a disheartening reminder of the Aaron Swartz defense fund thread before Aaron's death: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4529484 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4529484 The negativity was unwarranted against Aaron. It is unwarranted against Kiera. Many of those posters apologized after Aaron's suicide, confessing ignorance of his case. Aaron's life was cast into perpetual depression from the extraordinary charges mercilessly sought after by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. Then Aaron killed himself. Kiera is facing a nightmare not unlike Aaron's, but we can help.
