"Fair" and "just" are short versions of "fairness" and "justice," which I'd say are
not the same things; for latter being a more formalized version of the former. (Yeah, it's a fine line in most cases.)
I'm not questioning that there are unfair/unjust laws; but "civil disobedience" is something that is saved for serious offenses. We're talking about ebooks, and let's face it... there's nothing serious about them. You buy or you don't... end of issue. There is simply no call to apply "civil disobedience" to ebooks.
