That is a non-sequitur response, as this person has not been arrested for violating terms of service, sharing files through torrents, alerting people to security flaws, selling Canadian pharmaceuticals, or trafficking in undersized lobsters.

They were arrested for building and selling software used to harvest Amazon logins, bank account logins, and credit card numbers from botnets.

Your logic could just as easily be used to dismiss an indictment of any crime, from undersized lobsters to murdering someone with an undersized lobster.
