U.S. lawmakers pledged to rewrite an antihacking law as hundreds of people gathered in Washington, D.C., to mourn the death of Internet activist and innovator Aaron Swartz. Speakers at a Monday memorial service for Swartz, who committed suicide in January, remembered him as an intensely curious young man who wanted to help people and change the world. The world is a "worse place" because of Swartz's death, said his girlfriend, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman.
