| schestowitz | Aaron Swartz, founder of Demand Progress, killed himself. | Jan 14 18:35 |
| schestowitz | Swartz faced the threat of years in prison for what must have been a scheme to liberate scholarly articles published behind a paywall. | Jan 14 18:35 |
| schestowitz | I didn't know Swartz personally, so I have no knowledge about the extent to which he was depressed, independent of his legal situation. But apparently that alone wasn't enough to kill him. | Jan 14 18:35 |
| schestowitz | Having a tendency for depression does not mean one is impervious to reality. The reality of the US attack against him surely contributed to how depressed he felt. | Jan 14 18:35 |
| schestowitz | So we have reason to think the US government drove Swartz to it. This was not murder; the US did not aim to kill him, only to ruin his life on behalf of the copyright industry. But it probably did kill him. | Jan 14 18:35 |
