I think it's pretty clear from the introduction that this would just be a one-sided response to some of the government's weakest claims. It's essentially just reading one side's legal brief and ignoring the other.

Particularly Dotcom completely ignored a number of the accusations the government has made (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/why-the-feds...). Namely, he didn't address at all that they paid users who were popular uploaders with known infringing content. He also cherry picked some instances of his own use of the system without addressing any of the instances of employee abuses cited above.
