The Internet's own boy. RIP - he would have hated what they did to reddit.

Aaron Swartz was never convicted for these crime, much less sentenced to 35 years. According to wikipedia, his maximum exposure was 50 years and $1 million in fines; he almost certainly would not have faced those in sentencing.

This is not to diminish the terrorist tactics of the prosecutors that lead to his death. ACAB
