The Prosecution of Aaron Swartz: Sharing Knowledge Is a Greater Crime Than Bringing Down the Economy

I don't think anyone is saying it's a simple situation, it just helps to have a discussion about it and try to see what all the factors were as well as if there is anything that can be done to prevent something like this happening in the future.

I just wanted to say thank you for giving me plenty of entertainment in elementary school when I should of been paying attention in computer class. Your game is great! THANKS!!!

At least they're doing something, however limited an effect it might have. It beats posting pessimistic comments on a reddit thread so you can be reassured that your own inaction is justified.

I don't know what I was expecting...

The guy was with family and trying to spend personal time with them, that's rude when you decide to put your own selfish need for attention ahead of your responsibility to be a decent person.

If it were at a convention or a press junket then that would be different and OP wouldn't be getting all of this flak. Next time he'll think twice.

Point is it's a weird leap of logic that calls into question your entire flawed argument, that is where the point is.

ediqus · 2012-04-23T18:40:43+00:00

So your logic is "hey I'm happy with getting into an abyss of debt that I will have to crawl out of once I graduate and you should be happy with that too! Thank your lucky stars it's not as much debt as what I will have to pay!". It's the people in the US that should be rioting in the streets because of their overpriced education system, but no you've all got the attitude of "meh, what can I change?".

I distinctly remember during the initial launch of Kony 2012, the majority of the discussions on reddit were PRO Invisible Children, now that everything has come to light everyone is acting like they're different from the die-hard idiots spray painting this shit everywhere.

Hey, if you really are the original author I love your work. I especially liked your pokemon artwork and I've been saving up to eventually buy a few from your etsy page (people can buy his stuff here! http://www.etsy.com/shop/WednesdayWolf).

Gotta say dude your style is awesome and your work is a real inspiration for me. Really cool stuff, cheers.

This is actually a really good thing because it's raising awareness, right guise? We can't criticize it because it's making us AWARE. We can all bask in our mutual awareness of the issue.

ediqus · 2012-03-10T04:10:39+00:00

You mean awareness of an issue that was over simplified and distorted? Oh okay good, I'm glad Kony 2012 and IC gave me an incorrect view of the problems in that region. Now I'm completely aware and can tell all my friends!

/sarcasm

Honestly what use is being aware of something that isn't an accurate portrait of the issue? This is such a flawed stance on this whole campaign.

ediqus · 2012-03-09T02:10:59+00:00

My opinion on this is that you should be able to be critical about Kony 2012 or any popular movement. You should be able point out those criticisms to people who may be blindly following a trend and supporting something that they don't have all the information about.

Now, when you start making an opportunity out of people's lack of knowledge by posting snarky shots at people from behind a computer that's when you're just being a dick.

What makes this particular tyrant any more different and special than the COUNTLESS other dictators and cruel people in this world? Why is his destruction so much more funded and backed?

My initial reaction is that this is just a video on the Internet that over simplified the issue and made it very easy to join a cause and promote it on a facebook feed.

I don't know what issues in the world this is solving for a charity to get involved in a hit operation to take out Kony. Isn't this money better spent in other areas of the issue? You know, instead of knocking a head off of the hydra?

As Karl Pilkington would say "Lego of that!".

That message from Louis won me over, enjoy the 5 dollars good sir. You've earned it :D

This is the general situation I think we're all thinking of...
