Life sentence for a nonviolent crime is just fucked up. |

We'll never know what was going on in his life. It doesn't matter if he's some enigmatic freedom fighter, if he was getting no pussy, socially isolated, facing jail and poverty, and on a major down, shit can turn south with depression real fast. People prone to depression need to develop coping skills, and no matter how much weed I smoke and how much Lil Wayne I dance to, I don't know if I could cheer myself up if I was facing 50 years in jail and like $8m in fines or whatever. |
Could have been staged to look like a suicide. N.W.O. |
One of the true geniuses of our generation but he'll never get that sort of recognition because he never wanted to be rich and so never made anything to make money...just did shit to better the Internet. Shows how much those in power understand today's world when a guy like that faces a heavy prison sentence but bankers couldn't possibly go to jail and for some reason Lindsay Lohan is still free. |
Maybe he had other problems... What a loss for the world, where the retards continue to live but the geniuses die |
im surprised Conde Nest fired him right after buying reddit though that explains why he got a chill farewell in reddit too i suppose interview with him 5yrs ago pretty neat A Chat with Aaron Swartz and in regards to JSTOR im surprised the govt. went after him even though JSTOR dropped their charges/case against him; probably because he's credited for spearheading the movement that stopped SOPA anyway what a waste |

I was not disappointed that I did not have to go to page 2 before someone mentioned possible conspiracy theories regarding his death. |
Very sad indeed RIP |

Assault is what, only 5-10 years? And this guy got 30+ years for pulling some files? The only thing I can think of is that they were threatened by his power to give him any less.. |
