Review of The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (2014) by Jim T — 25 Jun 2014
Well done documentary that is an eyeopener. The sensitive progressive genius.
Basically finds himself in an impossible place. The activism and the intellect are no match for the established industrial capitalists. He was naive about where his actions would lead him. Then when confronted with the potential for a life behind bars, he chooses death. His martyrdom is the result.
It is sad how ill prepared he was. It was sad that he chose a long term solution to a short term problem and his act of suicide was a self centered act of disregard for his family and friends. Blaming the establishment for his death is a mistake.
