Aaron Swartz Documentary – The Internet's Own Boy

I personally would find a documentary about weev/Auernheimer much more interesting. I'd throw some decent money at that, just because listening to his mixture of genius and craziness is utterly entertaining.

I'm guessing you're probably referring to this, which is, as of now, $8k from its goal: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2120630809/the-hedgehog-...

Thanks for pointing that out! Didn't really know about that. Going to pitch in. Would love to see it more focusing on trolling and the culture of lulz. But if it has to be on the serious side, that's good enough for me to support them.

God, I would love to see a weev/trolling/etc. documentary of the Lolercaust. You could probably cover Anonymous, Sabu, etc. at the same time.

This would be great. I would back that. I did suggested to Weev that he should write a book with his time in prison when he is not fighting his appeal. #freeweev

Agreed. It could also take a deep look at how ridiculous the extent of his sentencing was in a legal and technical context.
