swartz

Invoking Aaron Swartz in an argument over who's allowed to show apartment ads where is manipulative and grotesque.

Had Swartz chosen to plead not guilty, the offer of six months in jail would have evaporated.

Wherein Aaron Swartz further confirms his status as a petty intellectual tyrant, pathologically obsessed with setting up nonexistent us-vs-them, good-vs-evil dichotomies.

The DOJ does all sorts of stupid shit like the Aaron Swartz debacle and the public hates them for these sorts of tactics.

The particulars of the Swartz case were meant to be indicative of the larger problem, and he certainly had access to good legal counsel.

I see Aaron Swartz as the model for this study, but I don't think he was a very good example of an 'entrepreneur'.

The fact you threw his name in is borderline offensive, seeing how with Aaron Swartz he was a victim of perverted justice, not abusive comments on Github.

As for 1, Aaron Swartz sent us both this quote the first time you and I had this argument, and I'm surprised you've forgotten it.

I don't like the font Aaron Swartz always use.

Quoted from the Forbes article: > If Ortiz thought Swartz only deserved to spend 6 months in jail, why did she charge him with crimes carrying a maximum penalty of 50 years?

I wish it were not the case -- Aaron Swartz is one of my heroes - but I am afraid this particular legacy of his has just spoiled.

> back in the jedberg/HueyPreist days the staff felt like reddit users some would go back even further and talk about the Aaron Swartz days...

He quotes Swartz with the "not even fresh air helps" thing, which is arguable.

But surely, every time one company sues another company and their case isn't completely bulletproof, surely it can't be reasonable for us to say "that's just like what killed Aaron Swartz".

The irony: Aaron Swartz probably had some idealistic system in mind when he wrote it (correct me if I'm wrong or if I am erecting a straw man), that would handle everything better if only the "right" people were in charge.

Aaron Swartz's case, Andrew Auernheimer's case and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act would say - likely illegal.

It bears some resemblance to the Craigslist scraper's business model and also to Aaron Swartz's activities.

That happens with everyone, not just Aaron Swartz, or even celebrities as a whole.
