Reddit co-founder hanged himself

Facing decades in prison for making copies of and sharing academic science journals for free. Highlights how broken are laws are.
 
^Worst part is he didn't share them, the indictment was for computer fraud(In actuality they put forward that he intended to share the info, but intent is a much lower charge )
Also fun fact, Jstore dropped all proceedings against him, Swartz was charged by the U.S. Attorney for Massachusett...

Reddit's userbase functions on Karma & the users will do just about anything for it.
What's Karma?

Reddit Karma is an accumulation of "goodwill" you receive when users upvote your posts or comments. It doesn't give you any overt influence and it cannot be cashed in for fabulous prizes, but a healthy amount of Karma on your profile alerts others that you add value to the community.

There are two types of Karma: one for links and one for comments. Both are displayed on your user profile in the upper right-hand corner and are to be worn as badges of honor.
