Really annoying title, as I think most of the tech community still remembers Aaron Swartz quite well. This little piece of drivel doesn't offer any opinions, and it certainly doesn't go out on a limb. Worse yet, that dramatic title about Aaron "mattering more than ever" is followed by an article that completely fails to talk about how important he was. He fought SOPA in a way that few people could. This article is a disgrace, and makes me have serious doubts about the movie. Wondering if anyone has written better articles about the movie that are brave enough to paint Aaron as a hero?
Seeing as the account is very young, I could see how the person may actually believe that we wouldn't know who he is (ironic of course, since the frontpage was filled exclusively with Aaron Swartz related links when he died last year).
Yes, that title was badly editorialized and in violation of the rules here. We'll revert it.
Where the fuck did this title come from? The TechCrunch title is "Watch This Film About Why Aaron Swartz Matters More Than Ever" and the film is called "The Internet’s Own Boy".
Did someone think that HN collectively doesn't know who Aaron Swartz was?
