So the example you take from what happened to Aaron Swartz is to apply yet more propaganda from the other side, instead of facts?

It's not even something you have to mislead about; 2-3 years in prison as an upper-end estimate is bad enough to make your point without being evasive, and even the ~6 months upper limit that the prosecution had offered in a plea bargain is said to be serious enough to make your point.

You could even mention that Aaron would have been a "felon" should he have been convicted or plea guilty on those charges and you'd have been accurate.

And yet you choose the only outcome that wasn't actually possible to push your point forward...
