In era of flux and untested laws, no one wants to be a scapegoat or a trial run.

I really feel for Aaron Swartz, and I think I might have easily done the same thing as him.

I dunno how or what, but we need dramatic changes in the law about the nature of the digital world.

Activists need to realize they're intentionally walking the fine line between being a scapegoat and a martyr. The better they navigate that, the more effective they'll be.
