[Nason Bimbe]

In his “Guerilla Open Access Manifesto,” information activist Aaron Swartz
urged everyone to do their civic duty and take up piracy. “The world’s
entire scientific and cultural heritage . . . is increasingly being
digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations,” he wrote.
“We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and
share them with the world.”
