If you disagree, then let's agree to differ; I doubt we're going to change each other's mind on the matter.

Whereas I am sure I indeed won't change your mind in this, I have to admit I admire your faith in humanity. From what I have read about the case, it is clear to me that Dotcom operated willingly in a legal grey zone, probably encouraging people to infringe copyrights. I am pretty sure most people would agree on a lack of good intentions from his side.
The, as you call it 'procedural screw-up', in my perception is anything but human error. The gross errors in an international legal minefield indicate to me that US law enforcement had as main goal to destroy MegaUpload Inc. with as secondary goals maybe a conviction for Dotcom and other executives of MegaUpload. I have very strong doubts about the good intentions from the side of law enforcement, especially the higher echelons.
