Whether or not the actions of the US government via the DOJ was the direct cause of Aaron's suicide will be debated at length.

However, as both a cause and a "martyr" of sorts, Aaron's death has become a rather large stick to hit both government and the copyright lobby with.

I hazard a guess that Aaron would have been happy for us all to use that stick with a vengeance.

We should keep hitting these powerful lobbies with that stick until they break or the stick breaks.
