Why is leaking the video the right thing? There were multiple videos of the incident including footage from a EarthCam live camera. And the NTSB released multiple videos as part of their investigation. The video wasn't leaked in order to stop a coverup.

Because it's in the public interest. The law doesn't state what's right only what's permitted.
Isn't that an even stronger argument that the leak shouldn't be criminal?
No, for the same that stealing an item isn’t okay because there is more in the back.
Impact and harm is absolutely part of the criteria by which we judge crimes and penalties. Not sure where you're going with that.
