Lisa Rein of Creative Commons explains the relationship she had with Aaron Swartz that started online when he was just 14 years old and remembers the talents that showed just how unique he was. Rein also comments on the work that Aaron had mastered at such a young age and recalls the different events she attended with the young activist. Swartz was an American computer programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist who was involved in the development of the web feed format RSS, the organization Creative Commons, the website framework web.py and the social news site, Reddit.
