Re: Aaron is [still] dead.

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.
