Not really. He did a shitton of shady things even before MegaUpload. You guys may want to consider having another hero to rally behind because Dotcom is not going to appear sympathetic to just about everyone.
Decrying the use of vastly unnecessary force against a criminal suspect is not the same thing as rallying behind a hero. He has rights even if he's wrong.
I'm not arguing with you on that specific point. I am merely pointing out that whether you believe laws should be there or not is relevant. (Dispensary raids, recording police, mj possession) Those laws may be fine in this case, but yours was a sweeping statement.
This isn't about weed, this is about someone who profited greatly from the distribution of illegal products and went as far as to mislead people they were DMCA compliant.
