Aaron Schwartz. Had some dubious ideas but he believed in total freedom of information. He downloaded and redistributed a shitload of content off JSTOR illegally because he felt that paywalling scientific studies was bad, was caught, and committed suicide when facing an unbelievably harsh sentence from a rabid DA.
I feel like they should be paying more per thing viewed than I do as a human
They pressured the RSS guy to kill himself for scraping stuff and freely sharing, by threatening him with a stupid amount of jail time.
RIP Aaron Swartz
which guy was this?
