According to Wikipedia, Aaron Swartz "was an American computer 
programmer, entrepreneur, writer, political organizer and Internet 
hacktivist who was involved in the development of the web feed format 
RSS and the Markdown publishing format, the organization Creative 
Commons, the website framework web.py and the social news site, Reddit, 
in which he became a partner after its merger with his company, 
Infogami. He committed suicide while under federal indictment for 
data-theft, a prosecution that was characterized by his family as being 
\"the product of a criminal-justice system rife with intimidation and 
prosecutorial overreach\"".

what Aaron was able to inspire.
