Now the life of Aaron Swartz was short, brilliant and collaborative, having co-authored the RSS feed, a popular way of sharing online content at the age of just 14. He went on to become the co-owner of the social news website Reddit before focusing most of his energy on the campaign for internet freedom.
His activity or hacktivity, as is known, led to an indictment by a federal grand jury for illegally downloading nearly 5 million academic documents from the JSTOR online archive. On Friday at the age of 26, Aaron Swartz committed suicide in New York. It was two years to the day since he'd been arrested and just two days since JSTOR had announced it would allow some limited access to its archive free of charge.
Well his death has seen an outpouring of emotion especially on social networks. Here's a tweet from no less a figure than Tim Berners-Lee, the British inventor of the World Wide Web, "Aaron dead. World wanderers, we have lost a wise elder. Hackers for right, we are one down. Parents all, we have lost a child. Let us weep."
Well joining me now in the studio is Heather Brooke, a journalist, writer and freedom of information activist based here in London. And Heather you knew Aaron Swartz didn't you, what kind of a person was he?
"Yeah, I met him in some various open government conferences and he was an amazing freedom of information activist and not just as some people may be in rhetoric, but he really like lived it. He was a, very much a kind of putting event to practice radical, wanted to give the public public information."艾伦·斯沃茨的一生短暂而辉煌。他具有团队合作精神，14岁时就曾参与RRS订阅的创作——RRS订阅是共享在线内容的一种非常流行的方式。不久后，他又成为了社交新闻网站Reddit的创始人之一。此后，他便专注于互联网自由运动。
艾伦的行动或者说“黑客行动”引来了联邦大陪审团的起诉，罪名是从在线学术期刊系统JSTOR非法下载近500万份学术文档。周五（1月11日），年仅26岁的艾伦·斯沃茨于纽约自杀身亡。他于两年前被捕；而两天前，JSTOR宣布其档案将免费开放一些受限访问。
艾伦的死引发了互联网上特别是社交网站上的情绪宣泄。其中不乏有万维网的发明者互联网先驱蒂姆•伯纳斯•李，其在推特上感言：“艾伦死了。世界漫游者们，我们失去了一位智者。为正义而战的黑客们，我们的一个伙伴倒下了。所有的家长们，我们失去了一个孩子。让我们为此哀悼吧。”
现在和我一起在演播室的是希瑟•布鲁克，一名记者、作家，立足于伦敦的信息自由斗士。“希瑟，你认识艾伦·斯沃茨。他是一个怎么样的人呢？”“嗯，我曾经在各种公开的政府会议上见过艾伦。他是一个令人惊异的支持信息自由的积极分子。他不像其他人那样或许只是嘴上说说，他是真心热爱自由。他激进地将自由理念付诸实践，想要向公众传达公开信息。”
