Alan Carton, the 23-year-old, RIAA-Defying Creator of the @diditleak twitter account, died earlier this month

In 2007, halfway through his first semester, Carton started Did It Leak—which began life as a blog—with the goal of total anonymity. For a year, he didn’t even tell his mother about the site. When he finally confessed, Jennifer asked how he knew that albums were leaking. He replied, “I just know. I can’t tell you how I find out, I just know.”
