Tell HN: I wastes my time living someone else's life

#1
Not only I'm living the life of someone else and making him wealthy, and at the same time this person is dead.

I'm captivated by this engineer, philosopher and artist of our History but I feel guilty to not spending time on my own things instead of studying his life.

Unfortunately my side projects are too ambitious to move enough and I don't access yet to any capital or support.

How are you making him wealthy, and how long has he been dead?

By reclaiming* his estate to the community he created. A litle more than 100 years ago.

*If someone creates a digital museum for the free culture and its founders. It would make Aaron Swartz richer in various ways.
