There is a great probability that you landed on this page through a web feed and that you are also unaware that one of the persons who created this amazing technology died exactly one month back. Perhaps I am over-reaching, there definitely were more people involved but the contributions Aaron Swartz made in such a short time justifies it. Aaron's suicide at the age of 26 also indicates how fearful authorities are to the challenge of hacktivists and those seeking to democratize information through web. Internet activists are being hounded,arrested,illegally detained and even threatened simply because they are motivated to do something for the general good and for being also smarter than the rest. Aaron was one such thought leader and one of the earliest martyrs of Open Information Revolution.
