I acknowledge your good point. But non-violent disobedience for fundamental human rights seems to me fundamentally different than someone who thinks they should get a song or movie for free because they disagree with the IP laws.

Things aren't so different when ridiculous IP laws get people ridiculous sentences for their violations; you wouldn't consider that a violation of human rights? Is one song upload worth 50k?* (or whatever the ridiculous amounts were)

Especially when it gets pushed, in one example linked to nearby, into area of serious felony. Especially when "big copyright holders" sometimes get caught red-handed in some infringement (or, generally, when pushed by them "eternal" - it seems - extensions of copyright breach the spirit of original social deal it was supposed to be)

*Which leads to...,piracy,comparison,.html one download worth more than 3 human lives?
