Well said. Anything Aaron Swartz was for I am for.

As a side note, did you hear that Aaron was most likely about to expose MIT for child porn? That's a strong theory held by researchers who found the way he did things on that last day were the m.o of someone coming into the lab physically to download sensitive info - when he could have just hacked in from home.

Nicholas Negroponte who chairs the MIT media lab has also been implicated in child trafficking by one of the top journalists in the world. I know you don't like this stuff but I had to mention it as a side note relating to Aaron and what he died for.
