I will keep folks posted. Steven

Congrats for the blog post about Aaron. I asked some friends to create a homage for him and I will translate for Portuguese. organization Aaron work to also. See bellow. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Harry Halpin <hhalpin AT ibiblio.org> Date: 2013/1/13 Subject: [okfn-discuss] Petition to have MIT and US Govt. issue an apologies for prosecuting Aaron Schwartz To: Open Knowledge Foundation discussion list &lt;okfn-discuss(a)lists.okfn.org&gt; I made a petition to demand an from MIT and the US Attorney of Massachusetts apologies for their prosecution of Aaron Schwartz, a prosecution that his parents say is partly to blame for his suicide. The US Federal Government is also added since laws on the federal level allow this kind of absurd prosecution. Feel free to sign: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Federal_Government_and_MIT_issue_a_for… "Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy. It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach. Decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts US Attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death. The US Attorney's office pursued an exceptionally harsh array of charges, carrying potentially over 30 years in prison, to punish an alleged crime that had no victims. Meanwhile, unlike JSTOR, MIT refused to stand up for Aaron and its own community's most cherished principles."
