Let's begin with who he was. Aaron Swarts was a brilliant boy with ideas to change this world. He wanted freedom of speech on Internet . He was the one who invented RSS feeds, CC and contributed in other technologies . He wanted that knowledge on internet should be free , one should not protect it to earn money. It's our right to read documents or anything on internet for free.
So this guy hacked into MIT and downloaded thousand of journal articles. Yes , it was illegal but he did it for a good cause. Anyway , it wasn't a big deal.Cops should have given him warning and should have left him. But things don't go as we plan. For no good reason Aaron was filed with 13 charges , FBI and Secret Service of US took over this case. Obviously they were over reacting on it. This wasn't a threat to US or wasn't that harmful act by Aaron.[Tweet "Aaron Swartz- The Guy Who Wanted To Change The World"]
Anyway Aaron fought against them , in meanwhile SOPA bill came , in this bill Net Neutrality was in danger . So Aaron reacted on it and after a huge fight he made it. He did not let this bill pass.
But he failed to get through the cases he was charged with. Swartz, 26, was under indictment when he committed suicide in January 2013.Some people say that government killed Aaron Swartz .
Whatever it was , but this guy was a true hero. He fought for freedom , which was his birth right. He wanted to change the world. But in return he got death. That's how this world works.
I can't write his whole story here but i wanted you people to watch his documentary. Watch it for yourself.
