A MANIFESTO CANNOT DEMONSTRATE MALICIOUS INTENT TO DOWNLOAD DOCUMENTS ON A MASSIVE SCALE BECAUSE DOWNLOADING DOCUMENTS CANNOT BE MALICIOUS

Edit: Sorry, not against you personally jsjunky, it's just that my mind is getting stretch marks from being twisted around. The all caps were it snapping back.

A manifesto written by the defendant discussing how there is a moral imperative to break a law is a pretty decent piece of evidence when you are trying the defendant for breaking that law. At the very least it demonstrates that he knew what he was doing.
Where in the manifesto does it advocate breaking the law? In fact it mentions that it should be public domain or purchased in the manifesto.
"There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture."

You're talking about something completely unrelated to what I am talking about.
