@@EnriqMSaenz WHY? Are you part of it? We all know he was murdered and now Julian Assange is being tortured for telling millions of people truth. The DOJ protested when Trump indicted him and then they quit. Now we have more corrupt people in place. Wow...we should all just STFU and stop trying to get him released.
Aaron Swartz, the more I learn about you to more I respect everything that you devoted your life to, and what you achieved in your short time here, the internet and the world is a better, more free place because of people like you.
Aaron was one of a kind. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since his passing. It feels so strange growing old and realizing all the lives that could have been but are not here anymore- I feel that the world is missing so much potential but I guess that's just how it goes.
And he was right, 3 more times they have tried and 3 more times we have stopped them. They are trying again right now with Title X. Even with Aaron dead, or especially with Aaron now dead, we must remain vigilant and honor his name and sacrifice. Net Neutrality is finally within our grasp, let's bring it home, FOR AARON!
what an amazingly talented young mind. i'm a comp sci major from mit, and while i'm sad that mit was involved in this, i think it's safe to say that the student body as a whole certainly believed in the ideals which aaron fought so valiantly for... RIP
I saw this in early 2013. It was ugly then and this young man gave his life, likely unwillingly, for it. They will come after the internet and our freedom on it again so this is certainly worth remembering and rewatching in my opinion and for sure, his efforts should be reengaged by all of us again when the powers that shouldn't be come at us sideways again
Thank You Aaron Swartz...words are not enough to even say...You Where and are a Special Human Being.You Will Always be Our Hero.Wish You Where Still Here among Us.You make our minds work Harder so We can use it and make decisions for the Better Of Our Freedoms!!! No One Should control the Internet.God Bless You Aaron...
Thank you for fighting a fight most of us never saw. RIP Aaron, to his friends and family, those who loved him, he lives as long as you remember, he lives in his work, he lives in the inspiration he gives to us all.
Miss you Aaron.... You would have given the world so much.... You gave so much. Your ideas and implementation are revolutionary. It takes courage dear and you had it.
We all owe Aaron a debt of thanks that cannot be repaid. He speaks never be forgotten and the events and circumstances that led to his untimely and tragic death should never be allowed to happen again. It's the responsibility of all who use technology and the Internet for pleasure or to earn or living to do our part to secure a better future.
Thank you Aaron Swartz, for all your work and dedication. I will show this video to my students to share your life's work. A life much to short - I will share your story! You saved the Power of the People. You will be forever our Internet Angel. Internet_Angel=Aaron_Swartz.
You were a good man and you will be missed by millions who never knew you but owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for fighting for our rights as a free people on a free Internet.
Just came home after watching The Internet's own boy. Captivating drama and I felt so sad having learned so much more about this young man. He was brilliant. I'm glad he got to see SOPA defeated. I wish he could have held on longer.
What a gifted, passionate, eloquent man of integrity. The world was lucky to have such an upstanding person in our midst!! RIP Adam ... you did great while you were here!!
I sit here in tears. You will be missed brother and your contributions to the world will live on forever. The world has experienced a great loss today.
I'm grieving over his end.... What an incredibly talented young man... How sad his life was cut short... Just thinking about how much he could have accomplished... But just as Paul was raised after the end of Stephen, there will be someone powerful to replace Aaron...
Thank you Aaron for caring out of the masses that only think of themselves, or its all about ME generation. You accomplished more in your short time than what most of the people in World will ever accomplish in a lifetime.
My hero today is Aaron Swartz, a young intellectual and social activist. You are an example and many will continue in the struggle for freedom of opinion and human rights. My right to the network are also your rights. These are the rights to free speech, knowledge and culture. No copy right to human rights.
(Replay) - Rest in peace, thanks for what you did! The formula of Power is "Don't disconnect." Aaron's life work was that we still can be connected. Above lecture by Aaron is worth seeing!
Since CNN is an old mainstream outlet, I doubt it would include Aaron Swartz as a nominee. However, I did just go there and filled out a nomination for him. While I was gathering info to put in the nomination form, I also learned that Aaron was the co-creator of RSS technology when he was just 14. His brilliance and activism are inspiring.
every day there are those who have the courage to stand up and acts and works for all and risked his life, I hope that more and more people among the common people, of all ages, professions, nations, recognize in the fight for Freedom, Truth and Respect
He was brilliant and he knew how to solicited support..I hope someone can take his place in the good fight...your life was very effective in the short time you were with us...God Bless
how can you not like this? This is an epic video and anyone that helped in the support effort to stop SOPA from being passed was apart of history. We are living in a decade that is not only extremely important but full of history in the making. In the future this is going to be extremely important and people will look back on this moment and discuss how in an era when America has lost its way, people were still able to fight for what they believed in.
I did not know who Aaron Swartz was before the news of his death, but I can tell from this video that he was a gifted speaker, and a passionate advocate for the freedom of speech on the Internet.
Thanks for the suggestion, taking the time to nominate him felt good, like I got to say a genuine "thank you" to someone who probably did more than we know for our freedom and general well being. He was treated cruelly and I hate sitting silently by, nice to put it into words and make a stand for him like he did for all of us.
This guy was full of love for life... How he could ever even think to lose it for any reason... This is so wrong, so wicked... RIP bro; you are still in all our thoughts and minds, and you still live in there.
It's a really moving moment around the 13:00 mark when he contemplates how he started to doubt himself as a result of all the opposition he was faced with. "It was a rough time" (pause...) It's hard to take a stance against the majority and the powers that be. He truly was a great person.
To all the people saying he was murdered, he had a history going back over 5 years of depression, he wrote about it a lot and it was known. Don't shit yourselves, there's good reason to believe he was suicidal, people who suffer from depression can be great one day and the next feel like they have nothing to live for, with no ability to properly reason or realise the worth of their life. RIP to a great mind.
Rest peacefully brother. You have done enough. You inspired many to become proactive in their quest for what they believe is right. We will continue you fight. All people on this planes has same right to have access to knowledge and information. Internet is a tool that can allow everyone to have access to study material he wants to study. We have a duty to disobey any laws that prevent people to share knowledge and information. Right to learn and share is basic human right. Keep sharing.
Bankers have stolen billions, broken many laws and they are fined; a kid downloads a bunch of academic papers and is up for charges that could send him to jail for 35 yrs ... what's wrong with this picture?
i really dont think this guy killed himself. this is the first time i have ever seen him or heard him speak, but he obviously had a lot of passion about this topic. people who are fulfilling their dreams and are passionate about things that they are involved in dont kill themselves. they just dont.
So sorry for the loss of this young brilliant Hactivists! Peace to those who knew and loved him closely. Staying connected to the public keeps each of us safe, letting this sweet idealist be taken by forces dark of any sort, is all our loss. Hope that the forces that led him to his high standards become the light that guides all of us.
He should be an example for all of us! We are the people so it's our responsibility to stand up against those who want to suppress us! Fight to survive and Fight for your rights!!
It is extremely tragic to have lost such a brilliant young mind.
we must carry the torch
RIP patriot. He had bigger balls, than most of us could imagine having!

Thank you Aaron Swartz. You are so missed.
He can rest in peace, but I won't until his murderers are brought to justice. Keep on hunting them down. Help expose our corrupt government.
calm the hell down!
Nobody is gonna help you, and you will never get anywhere wit that type of thinking.
Dont listen to anyone but your own heart

same here
The saddest part is Reddit itself is the most censorship social network online right now... this is making this even sadder.
because human beings suck and they want to tear down saints and higher individuals.
Wow this was actually amazing. RIP Aaron.
And he was right, 3 more times they have tried and 3 more times we have stopped them. They are trying again right now with Title X. Even with Aaron dead, or especially with Aaron now dead, we must remain vigilant and honor his name and sacrifice. Net Neutrality is finally within our grasp, let's bring it home, FOR AARON!

AAron=pure brilliance, beauty & love. Your light and beauty will continue to shine. Thank you!
aaron would you have fought for our civil liberties if you knew it would cost you your life? this is what a real hero looks like RIP
Positive he would have.... love > fear
What a humble hero! R.I.P. Aaron
This is still relevant in 2014. Wake up and start thinking.
RIP Aaron...a short life that shone so brightly. Putting others first before himself, that cost him everything.
his legacy must live on in those he inspired
Thank You Aaron Swartz...words are not enough to even say...You Where and are a Special Human Being.You Will Always be Our Hero.Wish You Where Still Here among Us.You make our minds work Harder so We can use it and make decisions for the Better Of Our Freedoms!!!

RIP Aaron. Thank you for everything.
Respetos a este gran hombre.
His words, passion and mission will stay with us ... Thanx!
RIP Aaron :'<
Miss you Aaron.... You would have given the world so much.... You gave so much. Your ideas and implementation are revolutionary. It takes courage dear and you had it.
I have a video of Aaron I would love to share in memory of him.
Did you share the video? I'd love to look at it =)
RIP brother. Your positive impact on the world will not be forgotten
Good stuff... thankfully we have people like Aaron Swartz. The world needs more of them!
We all owe Aaron a debt of thanks that cannot be repaid.

I am awed by this guy's intellect. Rest in peace, your legacy will live on.

So many people still have never heard of Aaron Swartz.

A big bright light has gone out. RIP Mr. Swartz. And thank you.
Aaron was a hero and he changed the lives of many. He will be missed.
Publicly correcting you is part of my charitable giving.
It's a sacrifice, I know, but it's a labor of love.
Such a tragic loss, Aaron seemed like a person with so much to offer to our world. R.I.P
Aaron Swartz - Martyr for Freedom for Information. Legends never die.
The world is a sadder place without you but many will carry on your ideas. We don't forget and We won't forget. May you rest in peace Aaron.

He is sorely missed.
Rest in Peace... truly tragic loss

Rest in peace, brother. You were more American than most.
here we still struggle with bans on web pages in Turkey. unfortunately, there is not an organized movement against it.
RIP Aaron, you were a great advocate for the freedom of the internet.
I did not know who Aaron Swartz was before the news of his death, but I can tell from this video that he was a gifted speaker, and a passionate advocate for the freedom of speech on the Internet.
Rest easy. True knowledge never dies his soul will always travel this planet through good people.
One brilliant person we lost here.!!
R.I.P , we will miss you.
Thank you for all that you have done. RIP

Las personas como tu, siempre estaran con nosotros.
Aaron Swartz R.I.P

A great loss to humanity. I hope we have more people ready to take up the cause. Quite an Inspiration!
RIP Aaron
I hope you knew what a difference you made
We will continue the fight .....
i really dont think this guy killed himself. this is the first time i have ever seen him or heard him speak, but he obviously had a lot of passion about this topic. people who are fulfilling their dreams and are passionate about things that they are involved in dont kill themselves. they just dont.

This is rare. When you have this, they will come after you.
