On Tuesday, the family of Aaron Swartz laid the Internet activist to rest just outside
Chicago, Illinois. According to reports, Swartz committed suicide last Friday after an
ongoing legal battle involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the online
academic document company JSTOR. Swartz's father has publicly blamed the US
government for his son's death, but now a California Congresswoman is calling to
update the computer fraud and abuse act which could have landed Swartz a 30 plus
year sentence behind bars. Trevor Timm, activist with the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, joins us with his take on the proposition.
