Aaron Swartz was a brilliant man, sadly as I'm not as well researched in the ways of the web knew almost nothing of the man until I learned of his death earlier today. He was one of the co-founders of Reddit, a website I love dearly and visit more often than my own Facebook. He was also one of the many that campaigned against those oppressive SOPA/PIPA bills. I've been reading so much about him and quite honestly I'm sad that the Internet lost one of it's finest and best allies.
This man isn't a felon he's a hero and should be treated as such by all, he fought bravely and will forever be missed. So long Aaron the internet is a better place thanks to you and you will forever be remembered by the great things you've done for the net.
