I highly recommend watching the documentary on him, Internet's own boy.

i would say jstor are cunts, but actually it's the US government that were being cunts here.

He didn't transfer or share he only downloaded.

bits are not bugs

That's not exactly what happened.

Aaron committed suicide before his case went to trial, and so he was never convicted let alone sentenced. 35 years was never even likely; had it gone to trial there's every reason to think he'd have been acquitted outright, or at worst given a slap on the wrist. Not that he should have even been charged, of course.

Please don’t spread misinformation.
