I think your all points are fairly taken, except,

* Swartz did not create something novel. Tidbits did.

Ha, what?! RSS, Creative Commons, Reddit, Demand Progress, for starters.

Edit: Okay, a few people have pointed out the context of legal action being pursued against against individuals. I suppose I'm being reactionary, so I withdraw my point.

Aaron was involved with a lot of cool stuff, but his case had nothing to do with anything you've mentioned.

beering is clearly speaking within the context of the Swartz's legal troubles. Within that context, beering's comments are valid.
