Aaron is mentioned in passing and is not related to any cause of action (if for no other reason than you lack standing to bring a case related to his death) that I could find in the claim. I must say that attaching his name to the case fails my personal "ickyness test."
Have you reached out to Carl Malamud[^1] and/or the folks at archive.org? I have a feeling they might be willing/able to help defray some of the bandwidth costs.

- thinkcomp 12y agoSorry you feel that way. As the Defendants in the case attempt to think of ways to get it dismissed, one strategy that will almost certainly cross their mind is the "it doesn't matter" argument. Of course, it does matter. Aaron Swartz is proof. What the AO, FBI, Secret Service and DOJ did to him is the icky part, not this lawsuit. PlainSite makes use of RECAP and archive.org's infrastructure, and I'm working with them on a new project as well. I think Carl has his hands full with the IRS. The point of the disclaimer is not to prevent access--it's to provide a warning to the Russian and Chinese scrapers running up the bill (and I'm not even sure why they care about U.S. court data in bulk).
