한국어 위키백과 편집자와 위키미디어 운동가들에게 전합니다.
저작권제도 개혁을 주장했던 아론 슈와츠의 죽음은
그가 주장했던 것의 본질은 무엇이고,
왜 그런 행동에 이르게 되었는지 생각해 보게 합니다.
아론 슈와츠에 대해서 레시그 교수는 이렇게 말했습니다.
"사람들은 저를 아론의 멘토라고 불렀습니다.
그러나 사실은 그 반대입니다.
아론은 나의 멘토였습니다."
두 사람의 관계가 밀접했다는 것을 아래 편지를 통해 알겠습니다.
같은 문제의식을 레시그 교수와 아론이 가지고 있습니다.
현행 저작권 제도는 최선이 아닙니다.
더 나은 제도를 깊게 생각해보아야 합니다.
저작권은 창작자와 잠재적 창작자가 새로운 창조를 가능하게 하는 제도여야 합니다.

> When I decided in 2006 to give up the work I was doing on internet policy and copyright reform, Aaron Swartz — the Internet turned social activist found dead in his apartment Friday — was there. Sipping a cup of water on a cold December night in Berlin, he pressed me, "How do you think you'll get anything done so long as there is this corruption?"
>
> I didn't have an answer for him, because of course he was right. Six months later, I made the announcement that I was turning my focus to the problem of corruption. Six months after that, Aaron was among the first board members of "Change Congress." Change Congress is what morphed into Rootstrikers.
>
> People have called me Aaron's mentor. The truth is the other way around. Aaron was my mentor. Since I first met him 12 years ago, he had pressed questions exactly like that. Again and again, his questions steered me, and guided me.
>
> But no longer. I have written about the bullying that I believe contributed to this outrage. But I wanted to write to you to remind all of us that our fight was his fight. And that while only he was Aaron Swartz, we are all now Aaron Swartz.
>
> Our thoughts and prayers are with his incredible parents.
