“In what has to be one of the more cynical moves in recent US political history, the White House has announced (see above) that more information freely distributed is better than less information available on via subscription. This turn of events come about six weeks after the death information activist Aaron Swartz, who supposedly killed himself when faced with severe prosecution over the intent to distribute ‘non-legal’ publicly-funded information to the public. Swartz faced over 30 years of jail time for his ‘crime,’ and apparently committed suicide over his prosecution, we learn, after all, that such ‘laws’ are fungible and can be changed.”
