10 years ago today the world lost Aaron Swartz at age 26. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz In a disgusting example of "prosecutor as bully", Aaron was threatened with 35+ years of prison -- hounded to his death -- for downloading academic journal articles. Yes, academic journal articles. Yes, 35+ years of prison. We miss you Aaron. The world misses you.
