First, I fail to see how it is unjust to require you to pay for merchandise (including intellectual property). Second, we are not empowered to violate those laws that we disagree with.

We have a long tradition of civil disobedience in the face of unjust laws. This is an unjust law, and I am carrying out civil disobedience in the face of it.

Requiring you to pay someone for the fruits of their labor is not “unjust”, it is capitalism.

If you think capitalism is unjust, you may be on the wrong board.

It’s not an unjust law, and you’re not a carrying out civil disobedience. Copy right law is just and you’re a thief and a hypocrite.
