content: You clearly don't know what Aaron Swartz did, so I just advise you actually read up on him more than just 1 or 2 sensationalist articles from WIRED or something. TL;DR: He galvanised people to make great change, and could code better than some programmers at the age of ~12, and was probably one of the pivotal people in getting PIPA and SOPA stopped. Advocated the spread of knowledge, actually did it, etc etc.
