Now if you disagree with a law, have considered it thoroughly, and are breaking it as a political statement, that's something different. If you are breaking a law for purposes other than your own gain, that's something different. But the sad thing is, most people don't think about breaking laws for larger purposes. They usually just think about their own immediate needs.

Well, copyright violation has become a sort of political protest (however ineffective) when the spasms of violence that the software industry coax out of our governments are one of the best examples of how commercial interests are gaining an influence that they do not deserve.
