In Europe it’s very frequently perfectly legal to give alcohol to minors, but not sell.

Surely the implication is that they'll end up being found dead, as happened to Aaron Swartz.


Is the implication then that Aaron Swartz was murdered?

It’s very easy to watch pirated streams, it’s insanely complicated to reliably watch the official streams.
