I am sorry, and I am really not this paranoid world conspiracy theorist kind of guy, but it's very obvious that much bigger things were going on here. Aaron was not popular by A LOT OF powerful people for many reasons. He was on "a list". In times where it is a common fact that intelligence agencies have seemingly endless digital power, all you need is someone who constructs a good story. It's not about the MIT, it could have been everywhere and anyone. The reason for all this will we find in the things Aaron was (sometimes successfully) fighting against. I wish Lawrence Lessig the best of luck!
