Here’s the story of Aaron Swartz, the young internet genius who discovered the hard way what happens when you actually challenge the ‘establishment’ and its objectives. Those who covet secrecy and profits don’t care for those who advocate the flow of free and unfettered information, because truth is their biggest ‘enemy’.
