Swartz didn't face prison until feds took over case, report says

14. Conspiracy theory stuff.

Bradley Manning released millions of classified documents to a foreign national. He has his supporters but the authorities have plenty of evidence without trying to 'punish' every single one of them.

Barret Brown knowingly tried to hide evidence after a search warrant was issued.

Jeremy Hammond for hacking? Um, I guess hacking is okay if it's against someone you don't like?

And Dotcom? I download stuff all the time. It's probably technically 'illegal'. So is what Dotcom was doing. Good for him for finding a way to stay out of it but, come on, the guy is knowingly violating copyrights.

We can argue about this forever but it doesn't change the fact that Swartz is primarily responsible for his own suicide.
