> Aaron, I am sorry to say, has died in vain.

This contrived conclusion mars an otherwise sensitive synopsis of the film, and through that, Aaron's life. The drive to reform CFAA continues. Strides are being made for open access to research [0], the cause that lead to Aaron's conviction. The Strongbox/Deaddrop project is being actively developed and deployed to protect journalist-source communication and empower whistleblowers all over the world. [1]
