It's relevant because I've seen more than a few people try to advance Weev as some sort of Aaron Swartz-style culture hero. As a part of this culture, I don't want that to happen. I don't want anyone to ever cite Weev as a personal inspiration, I don't want to see his name listed alongside people like Swartz or Bradley as an innocent hacker victimized for trying to do the right thing. If you want to use him as a test case for an unjust and poorly-interpreted law, that's fine, but don't tell me that the discussion has never been about whether Weev is a great guy, because I've seen it happen; and don't try to tell me that the truth is not relevant.

Weev is proud of hurting innocent people. He brags about it. He wants us to know. And I'm sure as hell not going to try to cover that up on his behalf, or tolerate those who do.
