It matters what we think because in a representative republic _we_ do have the power to change the laws either by electing people who will pass the requisite legislation or by ignoring them in large enough numbers to make enforcement impossible. Since the the former strategy is not likely to work in the short term given the plutocratic lobbying system that has been erected, I say we go for the latter. I think we're already making headway on that front when it comes to copyright (and wait to the current generation of children grows up!). We just need some bold and powerful corporations to stand up to the madness.
