According to the article, didn't the manifesto claim to legally purchase non-copyrighted material and then distribute it legally?
If what Aaron did is legally get non-copyrighted material with the legal intent of distributing it, then there's no legal case to be made at all.
If what he did is illegal, or getting of copyrighted material, then it mismatches what the manifesto said, so is problematic at establishing intent.

Do you really need to argue about what Mashable says Techdirt says the Huffington Post says an anonymous staffer says Carmen Ortiz says her AUSA says Aaron Swartz says? Short answer: no, you're wrong about the "manifesto".
