Aaron Swartz was a key figure in the successful fight against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). On Thursday (August 16) he will tell how a tiny number of online activists managed to defeat a bill pushed by the entertainment industry, which had spent hundreds of millions of dollars per year trying to get it passed and believed its survival was threatened if it wasn’t passed. Aaron will speak at 7 pm at ThoughtWorks, 99 Madison Avenue, 15th floor, New York NY.
