because combined with the power of the internets, it's just too easy to get 25k+ people to sign any silly petition (like the one for a Death Star). blame the trolls
@BarNone you might find this interesting:
The Volokh Conspiracy » The Criminal Charges Against Aaron Swartz (Part 1: The Law)
basically I think you need all types of people in this world.. we need the lawyers like you or the guy who wrote this who're just like "okay is this prosecution technically overreaching?" and you need people like Aaron or his supporters who're like "screw the legalities this situation is crazy and we should raise hell and change something" Both the dispassionate and activist factors are needed in the social dynamics...
The man stole free words!
Only thing that needs to be said.
Don't try to rationalize with future shytty lawyers who advocate the status quo of corruption.
This overzealous prosecution was direct retribution to Swartz's "anti-Government" activities.
Even though I'm pretty sure the majority of those charges were posturing and scare tactics, I'm also not completely convinced that this whole situation isn't deeper than it appears. However based on what we have to go on, I can say that there is a possibility that he would have had to do some time if found guilty but definitely not 50 yrs. I think he martyred himself to a degree but it has more to do with his mental state moreso than fear I believe. His death would have been more powerful if he were found guilty and maybe spoke on it from jail in detail before he died but instead we're left with a bunch of what ifs.
