People are absolutely, 100% responsible for his death.

A young person near the beginning of their career got sentenced to 13 federal crimes, 50 years of imprisonment and one million dollars in fines, for downloading some PDFs of scientific articles.

It's not like someone asked him to delete the PDFs and he killed himself in protest. His life was ruined to make an example out of him.
