Thought I’d share some context before you commit yourself to an almost 2 hour documentary:
I came across this documentary when reading up on Aaron Swartz during the recent events on Reddit. Aaron is one of the co-founders of Reddit but was also involved with Markdown, RSS, Creative Commons and the list goes on…
Aaron got himself in trouble by downloading large numbers of scientific papers from JSTOR. Eventually, he killed himself in 2013 when facing a potential 35 year sentence in jail.
“This video contains content from Lasso Group, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds” :/
Oh, that’s stupid…
