I have no problem with copyright laws up to a point. The problem is the fact that corporations have extended copyright to such an extent that it's not good for the distribution of knowledge and doesn't keep up with the available technologies. The petitioned for longer and more restrictive copyright laws and the courts gave it to them. The pirate bay was one of the few to say no, we don't accept those laws and will fight you.

Oh, and by the by, if I haven't mentioned it before, is your username taken from the most excellent band Fugazi? If so, there will be Karma coming your way
