Ya fries.. 1 million bucks and 35 years in prison for releasing FREE scholarly articles from a website based at MIT. You get less jail time for fucking murder.

I don't get it. Why would he get in so much trouble for that?

Free doesn't necessarily mean you have the right to distribute it, but still... I always considered it kind of a gray area.

Because Carmen Ortiz -(attorney for the district of Massachusetts)- has a US senate seat. So she wanted a high-profile case to wave in everyones face to show how she is tough on crime and good for the nation.

Obama nominated her.

This might explain the severity of the lawsuit against him and his "suicide":

Last year, Swartz openly criticized the US and the Israeli regime for launching joint cyber attacks against Iran.
The blogger was also vocal in criticizing Obama’s so-called kill list and other policies.
Obama has been reportedly approving the names put on the “kill lists” used in the targeted killing operations carried out by US assassination drones.

Every week or so, more than 100 members of the US national security team gather via secure video teleconference run by the Pentagon and go over the biographies of suspects in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, and “nominate” those who should be targeted in the attacks.

Obama is then provided with the identities of those put on the “kill list” and signs off on every strike in Yemen and Somalia as well as the risky strikes in Pakistan.

Well, okay. I feel bad for the guy, but it looks like he pissed off some really powerful people.

If only...

Not sure of his ethnicity, but he definitely has the face of a tribesman......despite his last name.

I love how a guy who's actively in the community, a creator, leader and avid activist for human rights just happens to "piss off the wrong people" and he just kills himself. Police said it's a suicide. I believe them.

Seems legit.
