This is a very informative and interesting documentary. It is lengthy, but well worth the time.

I've put up the embed at the top.  Since it's over 100 minutes long, could you please give us a little teaser about it, to encourage us to view it.

A shorter explanation

[Jasper]

Thanks Willy for posting the you tube videos. However, the bibliography video of Aaron Swartz is a must see. Aaron contributed so much to society only to be driven by suicide due to the unfair justice system that currently rules in the U.S. There are far too many accomplishments Aaron Swartz achieved in his young life. The Internet would not be what it is today due to Aaron. Watch the video I posted, Google his name etc.

I do intend to watch it but I thought it was important to post the shorter videos so folks could get a condensed version of what happened to him. What Aaron's supporters should be considering is why he tapped into MIT's computers because he definitely committed a crime. He should have been more stealthy in his zeal to exposed the MIT documents. What he did was gave the Government an excuse to bring the hammer down on him. The video below supposedly shows Aaron illegally entering the MIT computer wiring room without disguising his identity. He gave the powers to be the ammunition to make his life miserable.
