          I mean, I think we know he probably did, unfortunately.

          He believed he was facing a lifetime in prison.

            And the people pushing for that punishment were the ones that caused it, pushing someone into committing suicide is as good murder
            his blood is on their hands

                Deep State is older brother to Firefly actress Jewel Staite, and belligerent younger brother Islamic State.

      He was arrested for bulk downloading PDFs?

          In the same way that whistleblowing or “leaking” evidence of a crime is punished far more severely than any crime. It’s basically a death sentence.

      that’s very fucked up

      i’d say to him to install a small computer or something (raspi?), leave it there and leak the pdfs slowly - would take weeks, maybe months

        Unless you misplaced a decimal point somewhere and we’re pretty sure they’re gonna notice 80,000 PDFs copied! D:

        You’d need a time machine in order to go back in time to warn a presently deceased person about certain events before they happen. I don’t see how you needed someone to explain this to you.

        You don’t see how someone with a time machine can go back in time (with aforementioned time machine) and warn Aaron Swartz to stay away from the cabinet?

          I didn’t know this was saying that. I thought they were film references or something. “Here’s what girls do in time travel films, here’s what guys do.”
