Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit and known for his work against internet censorship, was literally driven to his death. The film tells the story of Internet activist and developer Aaron Swartz, a programming prodigy. From helping develop the RSS web feed format to helping found Reddit, Aaron Swartz has left his footprints all over the internet. His advocacy for social justice and free access to information on the web entangled him in a legal nightmare that ended in his suicide.
It's time to come into the light and, in the great tradition of civil disobedience, show our opposition to this private theft of public culture.
We need to take information from wherever it is stored, make our own copies and share them with the rest of the world. We need to take things that are out of copyright and add them to this archive. We need to buy access to secret databases and put them online. We need to download scientific journals and feed them into file-sharing networks. We must fight for guerrilla open access.
If we are enough people worldwide, we will not only send a message of our opposition to the privatization of knowledge - we will make it a part of the past.

Aaron Swartz: Death of an Internet Activist
More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
