Programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz has his fingerprints all over the Internet; he was integral to developing the basic Internet protocol RSS and co-founded the global social news and entertainment website Reddit.

It was Swartz’s groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to accessing information that ensnared him in a two-year legal nightmare.
