The difference is that companies can either sue or contact Meta to get the content removed (this happens every day)

This isn't possible when you break into a computer room and steal their files.

The mental gymnaistics people go through to support an asshole that just did what he felt like and wouldn't work witin the system is astounding.

Aaron Swartz should have started a company that supported the free flow of journalim/information.

Instead, he chose to act like a child and steal it instead.

While his death is tragic, he's not someone we should be supporting.
