God people like you are such ignorant douches.
Swartz was a douche who broke the law, repeatedly, and clearly and deserved to go to jail. He couldn't cope with paying for his crimes so he offed himself. He's a criminal, not a hero. He had nothing about what happened that made him somehow deserve your sympathy and ABSOLUTELY was a criminal.
This guy started a business where he stole other peoples work and gave it away for free. His business model is the same as a common thief, you ignorant prick. Stop acting like what he was doing was new and innovative. It was no different than stealing all the CDs they pressed for the songs and playing them, the only difference is he downloaded them illegally rather than breaking and entering. He's still a fucking thief, and last I checked, no sane person considered that a viable 'business model'.
These people aren't innocent people who got targeted, BOTH OF THEM ARE CRIMINALS in EVERY sense of the word acting like they aren't is for 20 somethings too stupid to know better, looking at your UID you should be old enough not to say things so ignorant.
Its mind blowing that people like you can blame EVERYONE ELSE for someones actions except the person that took those actions.
People like you are the problem with the world today, you think you deserve everything and have to work for nothing, your sense of entitlement actually gets you and people like this killed and you're just too stupid to recognize it.
