"Give me liberty or give me death" Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
The commissioner goes to the trouble to mention that she does not and never
will condone unlawful activity.
It's clear that criminalizing non-criminal activities is really a trend that has
been ongoing for some time. The purpose seems to be only to marginalize
otherwise perfectly law abiding people, perhaps for the "benefit" of a
small
group's commercial activities.
And in that light her words only serve as declension or even misdirection of
the real problem. The legal system including the lawmaking bodies need
more and better leadership. The patent system, the legal process, now even
criminal law is all getting to the point of no longer serving the people.[ Reply to This | # ]

I'm old enough to remember Kent State and other evils during the protest against
Vietnam.
MIT apparently gets enough money from whomever to be as corrupt as Wall Street,
but although there were #occupy movements in some of the universities in
California, there were none in the state which gave us our second president and
founding father John Adams.
I don't remember what MIT was doing during Vietnam.
Yet somewhere in universities should be people responsible for ethics. If MIT
is now "might makes right" so they will play toady, or "the end
justifies the means", or any of several other amoral if not evil thoughts,
they deserve opprobrium.
Yet I reserve my most concentrated vitriol to those who over the past decade or
decades watches as a series of people were similarly driven to suicide if not
actually murdered and shrugged, or merely said "well, they were, you know,
ewwww...". Those incinerated at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco.
Randy Weaver's wife and son. Bruce Ivins - hounded over the anthrax attacks
until he too committed suicide, with the FBI trying to get his family to turn on
him, but he appears to be innocent. Steven Hatfill whose career was destroyed
by the FBI earlier. I could go on for pages.
Most of you only care about Aaron Swartz because he was someone you respect, but
didn't care about the hundreds of earlier victims of the same federal death
machine. Nor do most of the people who care about many of the other victims
care about Aaron Swartz.
Yet this is why it continues. We don't want freedom, due process, and all those
messy things. We want jackboots to bypass all that messy stuff and attack those
we dislike or do something we disagree with. Yet when the identical injustice
happens to one of our own we call it tyranny.
It is tyranny in all cases. Yet the argument was, is, and I suspect a year from
now how can we make the tyranny worse and direct it against those we hate. The
religious right and the gay liberation movement want to use the jackboots to
kill each other. Neither want to eliminate the jackboots.
I do. That is the only true answer. Smaller government. One that leaves such
things to the local sheriff or police. One that doesn't make a federal case out
of everything. One that doesn't care what you do in your bedroom even if your
computer is there. One that doesn't deny just religious institutions funds - it
denies everyone because such is none of its business. One that doesn't say whom
is and whom is not married - divorce is more destructive than anything else.
One that lets states be evil if they want to be because to control them is a
greater evil.
If we simply swap jackboots or their targets in response to Aaron's death, he
died not merely for nothing, his death itself is dishonored. If we realize we
have created a monster and start to defuse and dismantle it so no one else dies
at its hand, his life and death will have meaning for this and maybe future
centuries.

No, it wouldn't be the best thing to see it as a mutually
exclusive measure.
I reject the notion that it's not the public's business to
demand accountability. Especially in situations of great
injustice --be them legally sanctioned or not-- it's the
people's moral obligation to say enough is enough.
Secondly, to point government in the right direction
demanding accountability for abuse of power is not mutually
exclusive with fixing the law.
One measure is a short term one, to ensure people who have a
judicious nature of Ortiz's calibre don't unnecessarily
force people out of life. It's important to stop them right
now. To do otherwise would only encourage them to amass yet
more power in even higher offices they can't be trusted
with. The people don't deserve any more punishments.
The other is a long term measure --as justice, ethics and
the law all move at different speeds-- to ensure it doesn't
happen ever again to anybody else.
Both things are necessary, and not mutually exclusive.

One more thing:
It's quite telling to me that these words of sensibility and
reflection come from VP Neelie Kroes, of the European
government, and nothing comparable has been produced by any
officer of the US government at any level.
It's not just the law, it's the policy. Res, non verba.

MIT announces that its report on its role in the Aaron Swartz
tragedy will be available in "a few weeks".
Unfortunately, it
will only be available behind a paywall. ;) [ Reply to This | # ]

Neelie Kroes goes to Hollywood, or at least YouTube...
Here are three video
statements of hers:
-
Neelie Kroes on open source
and the importance of communities
-
JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR DIGITAL
ACTION
-
Neelie Kroes invites
scientific community to stimulate Open Access
Three examples of
Neelie Kroes' ideas which provide a background for her current
reaction.
