It a difficult choice between Assange and Ulbricht, but I went with Assange.

Same.

Ulbricht was running a profitable business. An ethical business that happened to reduce violence. But it's still a business. Assange didn't have that financial motive, so him going to jail for what he did is that much more tragic.
