Whoever brings Aaron Swartz back gets to violate all the copyright laws

Aaron Swartz was 100% opposed to all copyright laws, you remember that yah?

Yes, and he killed himself after the FBI was throwing the book at him for doing exactly what these AI assholes are doing without repercussion

And he also said "child pornography is not necessarily abuse."

In the US, it is illegal to possess or distribute child pornography, apparently because doing so will encourage people to sexually abuse children.

This is absurd logic. Child pornography is not necessarily abuse. Even if it was, preventing the distribution or posession of the evidence won't make the abuse go away. We don't arrest everyone with videotapes of murders, or make it illegal for TV stations to show people being killed.

Wired has an article on how these laws destroy honest people's lives.
