Lessig on the DoJ's vindictive prosecution of Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing: "Prosecutors and lawyers often talk about the Rule of Law. But I never hear them talk about ethics. And really, that is the first thing anyone who is considering using the force of the government needs to consider. They need to ask "will these criminal charges help the public", "are the charges proportional to the damage caused", and "are these charges not just a means to an end or are they necessary for actual justice". All three of these answers for Aaron would have be a resounding and deafening 'no'!"
