He didn't transfer or share he only downloaded.

It's also likely that he was never intending to share them. One of the things he was looking to do is aquire a large dataset to analyze trends.

In other words, he was charged for entirely legit use.

I recon he was looking for a specific trend the us government really didn't want him to prove they had been forcing.

He also was not sentenced. This post is misinformation.
