Gay sex was illegal in a lot of places in the US, not long ago. My religion has been banned in various locations; a lot of my religious practices are occasionally banned by some cities. Some laws are immoral and oppressive, and part of the process of changing them is breaking them--because if nobody breaks them, the people who want the laws to stay claim that there's no demand for them to change.
Sorry, I just don't see the DRM issue being anywhere close to these examples.
