The way I read it, the "Yes" was in reply to the question "are you a lawyer?". I took the response to mean that GA Russell is a lawyer, but either practised business law, or didn't work as a lawyer.
Personally, I think the current copyright law in the UK is a mess, and from what I can tell, the US isn't much better. But regardless of what I or anyone else thinks about the law, breaking it and potentially facing criminal charges is a serious matter. If people want to do so, that's up to them, but it's better if they do so in full knowledge of what the consequences may be.
