Just read about this over at legalinsurrection and it is indeed a sad story. To think that our government overlords have nothing better to do than persecute a brilliant young guy because he was trying to freely disseminate journal articles to the geneal public. Add his name to the list of the fallen who have been victimized by our supposedly trustworthy government of good intentions.

Very sad. I didn’t know much about him before this article, but I know of Cory from his LITTLE BROTHER novel.
RIP Aaron. Another genius gone.

Lots of other good posts about Aaron over at http://news.ycombinator.net right now. Including a post from the expert witness hired by the defense – http://unhandled.com/2013/01/12/the-truth-about-aaron-swartzs-crime/

Never heard of him before, sadly. What a sick waste. The “DOJ” keeping us save from genius and innovation. Sure thing.
