Do you mean another case where a cracker was stealing data? Because that was
what happened here. You can make excuses for him all day and all night, deify
him posthumously, but he was stealing data. Period.
Not a good poster child for anything. The reason he was prosecuted was to make
an example, and it has. The same kind of people who would do legal defense
benefits for RIAA lawsuit targets and chant "Free Bradley Manning!!1!"
are the crowd involved here, and guess what, you guys are on the losing end,
thank goodness.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Didn't Mr. Swartz betray the people that had their trust placed on him?
Didn't Mr. Swartz act illegally to obtain the documents?
If the answers to the above questions are yes, why Mr. Heymann should be fired?
Please enlighten me.
Thank you.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I believe that "he was only following orders", and that if he were to
be fired, it would be as a scapegoat.
I can't say that I don't believe he deserves to be fired, and much worse.
Stripped of all his possessions and sent to prison for 35 years wouldn't be
severe enough. But I believe he's merely acting as the figurehead bully for
official policy that he doesn't decide.
That he appears to have the morals of Idi Amin isn't reason to forgive the
people who actually tell him what to do, even if he's fired. They'll just find
another.
There is no legal means for justice to be accomplished here. And other means
are generally counterproductive.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Wasn't Aaron too young to get involved in issues he probably didn't understand?
