That’s a subjective opinion. You shouldn’t have a legal system built on opinions.

The legal system shouldn't care about motive?

Sure but the legal system is only one branch of government. Many of the rights we enjoy today were earned by what the legal system would classify as criminals.

The written justification that judges give for their rulings is literally called a "judicial opinion."

Human understanding of humans and human social structures (which one needs to make just rulings) isn't objective. To claim otherwise is not just subjective, but incoherent. It's an infinite regress. Many people throughout history possessing ideas that we now consider to be stupid were convinced of their objectivity.

FWIW, I think this vendetta against Kim Dotcom is way out of line, and wouldn't have happened if he were more important.
