Thinking that something might happen is not the same as having an intent to cause it to happen. That would make every reader of Cardinal Richelieu to have mens rea to any crime. I also know that by visiting HN I might cause enough drain on their servers that a server breakdown happens, yet I have no intention to cause that.
What the prosecutor might argue however, is that mens rea is not needed for cases of assisting criminal copyright infringement. This is what happened in the pirate bay trial, as the prosecutor brought up precedent cases in which an friend of an accused held up a window during a burglary, and got sentenced even if he was not aware what his friend was up to.
