I hate to say this, but the DOJ didn't kill Aaron Swartz...he took his own life. Selfishley, if I may so. Many activists stand up to the oppressor, raise awareness, fight, he didn't. Not taking anything away from what he was trying to do with JSTOR (semi-noble), but don't blame the DOJ on his death.

Do blame them for bringing down the sledge-hammer though.
