In the wake of Internet activist Aaron Swartz’s suicide before his impending court case, Silicon Valley Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (CrunchGov Grade: A) has proposed a bill that may have prevented the government from overzealous prosecution. Swartz reportedly faced an astounding 50+ years in prison and a $4 million fine after releasing millions of pay-walled academic articles from the popular JSTOR database. “Aaron’s Law” would amend the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the hopes limiting the prosecutorial power against citizens who merely release information from certain types of databases.
