Auf diesem Bild stehen zwei Männer nebeneinander die technisch ungefähr das gleiche getan haben. Einer davon ist tot, gerade weil er es getan hat. Der andere ist einer der einflussreichsten Menschen der Welt geworden. Gerade weil er es getan hat. Nur nicht zum Wohle der Gesellschaft.

Watched the Aaron Swartz documentary last night, if you're ever wondering why the world is bad this video will shed some light on that.

In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles. 13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger. The law didn't change. https://torrentfreak.com/uploading-pirated-books-via-bittorrent-qualifies-as-fair-use-meta/

It's days like these that I really lament over the tragedy of #AaronSwartz.

He was punished trying to take locked-away public knowledge and making it public and available for all.

Now "ai" companies are praised for taking the worlds public knowledge and locking it behind a paywall.

He once said that he could never become president because "they dont let criminals work there".

fuck #AI and fuck t_rump.

J'ai beaucoup aimé "torcheculatoire" sans en trouver une définition formelle (mais j'ai ma petite idée).
#Aaronswartz

#AaronSwartz was treated like a criminal. #AI (#SALAMI) companies that do the same are not, even if their main interests are money and surveillance, not science.

This is a blatant demonstration that the purpose of #copyright today is n ot to defend authors, but rather to defend corporate monopolies.

Authors and readers share an interest: defending the freedom of data they only can interpret to build knowledge!

AI and the Corporate Capture of Knowledge - Schneier on Security

More than a decade after Aaron Swartz’s death, the United States is still living inside the contradiction that destroyed him. Swartz believed that knowledge, especially publicly funded knowledge, should be freely accessible. Acting on that, he downloaded thousands of academic articles from the JSTOR archive with the intention of making them publicly available. For this, the federal government charged him with a felony and threatened decades in prison. After two years of prosecutorial pressure, Swartz died by suicide on Jan. 11, 2013. The still-unresolved questions raised by his case have resurfaced in today’s debates over artificial intelligence, copyright and the ultimate control of knowledge...

Schneier on Security

" Control over data, models and computational infrastructure is concentrated in the hands of a small number of powerful tech companies. They will decide who gets access to knowledge, under what conditions and at what price. "
