Aaron Hillel Swartz, an eclectic persona, was a self-taught programmer, Internet activist, co-founder of the popular social news website Reddit. Swartz committed suicide last year after being threatened with the possibility of at least 35-year prison sentence and $4 million in fines by the Court for downloading millions of academic journal articles illegally over the digital library Jstor from MIT. His story is the subject of a documentary film, “The Internet’s Own Boy – The story of Aaron Swartz”, directed by Brian Knappenberger.
