So this group of people is morally obligated to risk prosecution and civil lawsuits to help strangers break laws just because we don't agree with them?

Exactly how much justice was there in Aaron's not having followed the unjust laws?

He was a kind, brilliant person, barely out of childhood, and his life has come to an end.

I admire what he did and I find the way he was treated criminal and deplorable. However, Its difficult to blame developers for not wanting to go to prison and/or be harassed to death.

> Go do it yourself

Who says that I do not work on such things already? (just perhaps in a somehwat different way than you might spontanously have in the back of your mind).

I have nothing on my mind in particular, I just like to call out lazy entitled people who think that others should do things they want for them, be it on the internet or in person
