Parent comment implies Swartz was guilty of some degree. I vehemently disagree with that.


> Parent comment implies Swartz was guilty of some degree

as a constructive criticism, you might want to reconsider your interpretation of

>"Remembering Aaron Swartz in this moment" -> Which was arguably more innocent — scientific papers.

As in, both hold some degree of illegality (objectively), so when pointed that "he is guilty of some degree" is due to the jurisdiction laws (broken or not) regardless of societal/moral values that the context may apply.

perhaps a better answer would be to point that he shouldn't be punished for those actions.


You're quoting a different user

What did Aaron Swartz do that was illegal?
