Description

View the open-access documentary on him, [*The Internet's Own Boy*](https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz). He was behind Archive.org, Reddit, RSS, Creative Commons, and a huge impetus to the anti-IP, anti-copyright, anti-patents, open access, and open source movement. Desepite any good he may have done, he committed suicide (or was he really suicided?).The first writing in this book ("[Downloading Isn't Stealing](http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/001112)") is a very concise refutation of sharing = stealing; cf. Kinsella's [*Against Intellectual Property*](https://isidore.co/calibre/browse/book/5386), where he discusses how theft was impossible in the Garden of Eden.
