My take on this sad bright,young man lost to helping us regain and maintain our future freedom.

This ‘suicide’ could have been carried out in two ways that the mainstream press hasn’t even mentioned.  (1) Bullied to Death by the US Government.  Commented suicide from being pushed with mind-control methods to the brink by government goons. (2) OR the goons helped him with the task themselves, then staged the scene. . . . EDITOR

Technological problems will go unsolved, or be solved a little less brilliantly than they might have been. And that’s just what we know.

But more than anything Aaron was a coder with a conscience: a tireless and talented hacker who poured his energy into issues like network neutrality, copyright reform and information freedom.  Among countless causes, he worked with Larry Lessig at the launch of the Creative Commons, architected the Internet Archive’s free public catalog of books, OpenLibrary.org, and in 2010 founded Demand Progress, a non-profit group that helped drive successful grassroots opposition to SOPA last year. . . .
