The one of Aaron Swartz It's an incredible story and we think everyone should know it. The film is from 2014 and here you can find a small review written by Wired, below is a small part of the article:
Aaron Swartz he was a child prodigy of information technology: we owe - at least in part - to him RSS, the Creative Commons, the OpenLibrary.org. She was an activist for universal access to the Internet and above all to knowledge, as well explained in the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto of which she was co-author. He was a 26 year old boy who took his own life on 11 January 2013 due to the unbearable pressure of the investigations and the trial which saw him answer to 13 charges and face the risk of 35 years in prison and a million of fine dollars. The crime? Having downloaded a huge quantity of academic papers from the JSTOR database.
We also suggest reading the most recent article by Network Wars called What remains of Aaron Swartz's legacy today.
