And that lead to that story that caused Aaron Swartz to commit suicide,
isn't it? That's hardly a fine example of 'smart activism' thing,
considering the outcome IMO.

It's a good example of 'usual activism', though. Activist is risking
everything, possibly including reputation and (in this case) - own life.
And the profit from the act of activism belongs to other unnamed persons
and organizations, as usual.
