I'm sorry, I don't understand what it is that you don't understand.
If I read the post to which I responded correctly it was a slur about those who break DRM, with the implication that if it's the law it must be right. And if I read your post correctly - forgive me if I don't - you are calling me thoroughly dishonest for breaking DRM because you think DRM is justified by law.
The laws enabling a slave owner to rape one of his slaves and sell his child and making it an criminal offence to help a slave to escape were just as much laws as the law governing DRM. But they were unjust immoral laws, and if I had lived at the time I hope I would have had no qualms about breaking them. Would that have made me thoroughly dishonest, do you think?
Of course the law on DRM is nowhere near as serious as the slavery laws I've mentioned. But the principle is the same.
