collective piracy threatens to make public classified documents and was killed when Aaron Swartz line has been crossed '

hacktivist group Anonymous

said Saturday he had removed the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in a blatant act of cyber-revenge for the death of freedom fighter Aaron Swartz Internet.

Swartz committed suicide just over two weeks when he faced trial for hacking an online collection of journals related to MIT with the intention of releasing millions of research papers on the Internet.

The 26-year-old had a history of depression, but his family, friends and supporters said it was the threat of a prison sentence for an act he considers a statement policy that led suicide. Since his death, Swartz became a powerful symbol for hackers and activists fighting against Internet controls.

The site of the commission, an independent judiciary involved in the decision, was replaced with a message saying that when Swartz committed suicide two weeks ago, "a line has been crossed. ' In a message posted on the website and an accompanying video YouTube, said hackers had infiltrated various government computer systems and copied secret information that threatened to make it public.


anonymous, which has been the subject of numerous detentions and FBI probes, took a relatively high profile in several recent cases. In the small town of Steubenville, Ohio, which has been rocked by accusations of rape against several football players from high school, the group has organized protests and said published data shows evidence of concealment of the crimes charged.

Anonymous is a poorly defined group of so-called hacktivists who oppose attempts to limit the freedom of the Internet.
