This is the entrepreneurial dream that can be seen everywhere in Silicon Valley, the heart-wrenching joke of the "Silicon Valley" TV series, the long daydream, and the exciting cheers of success. The phrase has flooded into an empty manifesto, a joke, if not for the fact that there are still a handful of people practicing it. For these people, "changing the world" is a talent, and it is more like an instinct like drinking water and eating. After reading the stories of Assange and Snowden, I was afraid to touch the subject of Internet pioneers again, because I was afraid to see the price those idealists paid for an open Internet - I stand on their blood and sweat , I was able to get to where I am today by relying on the complete book and video resources that have bypassed big companies and have been translated for free. When I wrote it, I used the cc (Creative Commons) clause of the protagonist of the documentary, Aaron, and I feel at ease that the silent ones really exist as Commons, and don’t even want to touch the unfair world for them—the pioneers A hair of the rules. So I put "Children of the Internet" in my favorites to this day. Aaron is challenging the unfair copyright system, another component of a free and open Internet. The literature of all kinds of research is not created by businessmen and companies, but they keep the articles in the database and enjoy it with the blood and sweat of others. Information is power. But like all power, some people just want to have it for themselves. All of the world's scientific and cultural heritage, which has been published in books and journals for centuries, is gradually being digitized and locked away by a handful of private companies. Want to read the papers with the most famous research? You have to pay a publisher like Reed Elsevier (or HowNet) big bucks. Force academics to pay to see their colleagues' work? Scan all the libraries but only allow people to read through Google? To provide scientific literature only to students in prestigious first world universities, but not to children in third world countries? How can you get someone to pay for something you stole? This is shameless and unacceptable. This is a paragraph from Aaron's Guerilla Open Access Manifesto. Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web, and he didn't use it for profit, but dedicated it to all humanity. And capitalists have stolen the Internet with the help of unfair laws and regulations, making it smoky, full of obstacles, and divided into small territories. As Assange said, the original Internet doesn't exist anymore. They seized our very freedom to connect. Aaron faced numerous charges and prosecutions because of his steadfast refusal to plead guilty, and under the weight of a long period of time, he committed suicide in his apartment at the age of 26. The talented young man who once participated in the founding of the Internet and co-founded RSS and co-founded Reddit just left. "The Internet has lost a child." People mourned him, but seven years later, the situation has only gotten worse—all kinds of databases continue to block excellent papers, the authors can't make money, and others can't do anything because they can't read the common wealth of mankind. The initiator of the financial crisis had lunch with the president on a regular basis, but Aaron, who wanted to fight for the basic rights and interests of ordinary people who had been oppressed for a long time, was prosecuted, and the founder of scihub, which provided free document download services for the people, was besieged and suppressed. But Aaron's efforts were not in vain. Like Tim Berners Lee, Richard Stallman, his efforts will inspire countless latecomers to fight for the freedom of the Internet. There is no shortage of idealists in every era, they just lack an opportunity to speak up. At that time, new laws would be named after these pioneers. this is what democracy and justice looks like. PPS Also, Aaron's girlfriend knew that she was doing the wrong thing by going to the FBI for a proffer. Maybe she's worried about losing her job, losing her daughter because she's in jail, and she's deeply guilty, but she doesn't say it. People are complicated...
