You must know this story

I have to tell you about a movie I watched last night. It is called " The Internet's Own Boy".
It's the story of Aaron Schwarz. He was a hero. He committed suicide when he was facing 35 years in prison after making data to all people available on the internet that is our cultural heritage: books and articles written by the likes of Darwin.
This knowledge was kept away from all of us behind a fee , hence only available for people with the right funds.
That is only part of the story. Watch it,watch it with your children who use the internet. It is eye opening, mad making and deeply sad. We lost one of our finest.
