The personal domain aaronsw.com of internet activist and programmer Aaron Swartz, who died in 2013, has expired. Swartz co-developed RSS, helped create Reddit and Creative Commons, and became a symbol of the open internet movement after his prosecution for downloading academic papers from JSTOR. People online are noting the lapse with nostalgia and concern that his archived writings and web presence could disappear.
Why now: The lapse of the domain of a beloved internet activist raises fears his legacy and writings may be lost.
