We can hope that the death of this extraordinary young man may help change some of uglier corners of our society- with regard to the free flow of information. I'd much rather the young man were alive, but if at least his death can have some meaning, some good will come out of something that's pretty terrible. I hope those prosecutors carry the guilt and shame of this to their graves.

John, thanks so very much for following up on Aaron Swartz. Great pieces, all. How terrible that none of the people who he interacted with saw that this was a possibility, that no one engaged him more fully, offered him more explicit, full support against this prosecution. I know they set up a defense fund for him, they thought it was outrageous (which, from what I can see, it was), etc etc. But it clearly wasn't enough.

RIP, Aaron Swartz.
