This is a good read about the realities of the Arron Swartz case http://www.popehat.com/2013/03/24/three-things-you-may-not-g.../

While I'm glad that the EFF is out there fighting for our freedoms it's not an unbiased provider of factual information in cases like this, they paint the bleakest possible picture and act like defendants in cases relating to areas of their concern are getting singled out for extra special horrible treatment while the government mostly hands out horrible treatment to as many defendants as possible.
