Depression, and it's cause and the increase, the increase is
astounding. And,
if you look at the magnatude of the
affect of Methanol in the
food and the
SSRI stories related posts. You start to get an
to a point where WE NEED TO
HAVE THIS RESEARCH validated,
using the Socratic Method, to somehow keep our
best minds
protected from this silent factor... only a factor, but it
needs to
be examined...
SSRI Stories
The Story of
SSRI Stories.
WHY?
As, deeply, we ALL miss those who are
gone, each mother
feels the same, as this, these links, are all about
the
same story. And, might be the story in an indirect way?
I will post again, in
Aaron's and others
living with depression's memory. There is something to the
below videos, when you look at it as a complete picture of
overall health (of
adults, children, and babies).
Dr. Mercola
Interviews Dr. Monte
about Methanol that exists in huge
amounts in various packaged foods and
drinks...!

laced

consuming
this stuff too?
And This... how important this is... not vodoo, but
science.

He made the newspaper in the Netherlands as well http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2013/01/12/bekende-computerprogra

May he rest in peace.
His
story reminds us how overzealous ip enforcement ruins lives. It is not just
about money, it is about actual people being impacted. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The news link for If I get hit
by a truck misspells Aaron's surname in the end:

When a top student is prosecuted for freeing academic journal information to the
point where he is thrown out of school and faces an effective life prison
sentence, all for the sake of protecting the current status quo of a copyright
regime, it's time for change.
Regardless, I am very sad that he chose to end his life -- he could have still
done great things even after serving some time in jail. This is a very great
miscarriage of justice.
Long live Aaron Swartz![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Perhaps the death or Aaron Swartz can lead to a overthrow of the current
intellectual property regime. Can this be the point were we just get fed up and
change the laws against the wishes of the lobbyist?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It's a sad day. A red day. The time is long past when we need to reform the
Copyright and overbearing laws in this country. Not just the CFAA.

No link in deference to PJ's previously expressed opinion of AP, this syndicated
article can be found all around the
dailies now, Google some of the
text.
JSTOR did not press charges once it reclaimed the articles
from Swartz, and some legal experts
considered the case unfounded, saying that
MIT allows guests access to the articles and Swartz, a fellow at
Harvard's
Safra Center for Ethics, was a guest.
Maybe the court papers will
reveal to us the justication for JSTOR's belief they had reclaimed the
articles,
probably an affidavit that the laptop and/or its hard drive were in
the possession of the Federal authorities.
Suppose Swartz had the time,
resources, inclination to be running another script rsyncing his download folder
to
an offsite repository. If JSTOR were aware of this how would they go about
reclaiming the articles? The
metaphysical disconnect between a paper
document and an e-document doesn't seem to have penetrated those
minds that
still believe this to be common theft. Sure, both types of document can be
certified, signed, sealed; and
both can be forged
and uttered. But my
dictionary defines theft as the act of stealing
and
steal vb. 1 [trans] take (another person's property)
without permission or legal right and without
intending to return it;
Swartz had permission and legal right, but who else who reads JSTOR
articles
has ever had to return them? I expect to hear heavy footsteps outside
my door following this confession that I have
on my hard disk several articles
saved from JSTOR. I have even emailed a few to colleagues out of town who were
unable to timely present themselves at the public terminal of our University
library.

Facing 30 years in prison - more than offered for multiple murder. And for
what? Most of this information was public information, almost all in the public
domain.
Librating this information will do great work toward the goal of
copyright: "To promote the progress of science and the useful arts..."
A
fitting tribute to this brilliant young man is to release and index the data,
and do away with this cause of his oppression.
And then in the longer term to
end the oppressive eternal copyright regime. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The more I learn about what happened, the more it has become clear that MIT made
a serious error when they contacted the authorities and then cooperated with
them after learning an unknown computer had been connected to their network.
It looks to me like anyone with a conscience should not contact the authorities
nor cooperate in any way until after they know what has really happened. I've
seen too many people get ground up in the system to ever trust it again.
It's really sad that it has come to this in the home of the free. It's also a
national security issue, in more ways than one.
If universities and technology companies cannot contact the authorities when
they suspect they've been hacked, then foreign powers will be able to run
rampant with little worry of being caught.
Meanwhile as PJ pointed out, we won't have anyone to respond with if people are
too scared to try things out, because they may be prosecuted for a typo.
Something needs to change.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Let me establish my bona fides. I have led the
investigation of
dozens of computer crimes, from Latvian
hackers blackmailing a stock brokerage
to Chinese
government-backed attacks against dozens of American
enterprises. I
have investigated small violations of
corporate policy to the theft of hundreds
of thousands of
dollars, and have responded to break-ins at social networks,
e-tailers and large banks. While we are no stranger to pro
bono work, having
served as experts on EFF vs Sony BMG and
Sony vs Hotz, our reports have also
been used in the
prosecution of at least a half dozen attackers. In short, I
am no long-haired hippy anarchist who believes that anything
goes on the
Internet.
[...]
Aaron Swartz was not the super hacker breathlessly
described
in the Government's indictment and forensic reports, and his
actions
did not pose a real danger to JSTOR, MIT or the
public. He was an intelligent
young man who found a loophole
that would allow him to download a lot of
documents quickly.
This loophole was created intentionally by MIT and JSTOR,
and was codified contractually in the piles of paperwork
turned over during
discovery.
If I had taken the stand as planned and had been asked by
the
prosecutor whether Aaron's actions were "wrong", I would
probably have replied
that what Aaron did would better be
described as
"inconsiderate".

Matt Stoller is a fellow at the Roosevelt
Institute and a contributing editor to the financial site Naked Capitalism. He
also contributes to Politico, Alternet, Salon, The Nation and Reuters, focusing
on the intersection of foreclosures, the financial system, and political
corruption.
The following is a small part of a longer essay Stoller wrote
for Naked
Capitalism.
Making “life a little less unfair.” Those aren’t
the words of a techno-utopianist, those are the words of a liberal political
organizer. They remind me of how Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has
described her own work. Aaron knew life would always be unfair, but that was no
reason not to try to make society better. He had no illusions about power but
maintained hope for our society if, I suppose, not always for himself. This is a
very difficult way to approach the world, but it’s why he was so heroic in how
he acted. I want people to understand that Aaron sought not open information
systems, but justice. Aaron believed passionately in the scientific method as a
guide for organizing our society, and in that open-minded but powerful critique,
he was a technocratic liberal. His leanings sometimes moved him towards more
radical postures because he recognized that our governing institutions had
become malevolent, but he was not an anarchist. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Could someone remind me how many years in jail someone,
anyone at Sony had to spend for his malicious and
intentional rootkit ?
Oh I forgot. Corporations are people, except, better.
I have little hope that overzealous prosecutors in this case
will be sanctioned any more than the happy-to-make-a-deal
ones in the former.
IMHO this one has blood on the hands.
RIP.
