Aaron was the OG. If you've never dug through his blog, do yourself a favor [1]. Also make some time to watch The Internet's Own Boy doc about him [2] and look up some of his talks during the SOPA shenanigans. RIP. [1] link [2] ▶ this video
"The internets own boy" is a decent documentary if you want to learn a bit about Aaron. YT Link: ▶ this video Thanks OP for posting this aaronsw.com link.
And if someone wants an account of the entire case, here's a must-watch documentary, especially if you belong to the hacker culture: ▶ this video
sad that reddit turned out this way, completely opposite of what Aaron Swartz's vision documentary about him - ▶ this video
