He is such a inspiring legend, shining beside Edward and the other fighting friends, for freedom and a better world. I love Aaron for his spirit and the mission he lived.

For anyone, who hasn't seen the documentary [1], I can recommend it!

Good to be remembered to some of his goals: „We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks.“ [2]

I independently came up with the same thing about journals but instinctively knew better. I looked at the financial reports for a major one to confirm or reject the instinct. All I can say is "Holy shit. We're not buying that any time soon."

Thanks for the documentary link, though. I'll check it out.
