Not really. I think the relevant quote is in part E:
"In sum, it is undisputed that Defendant intentionally uploaded
digital music files to his computer, and that those files were being
distributed to other KaZaA users without Plaintiffs’ permission in
violation of the Copyright Act. Defendant’s bald assertion that he
did not realize these sound recordings were being distributed from his
KaZaA shared folder to other KaZaA users is both belied by the facts
and irrelevant under the law."
So there is an actual issue in dispute as to whether Howell *knew* he
was distributing music files.
