I agree with Darryl and would like to add the following.
Many posts in these forums express the view that the current copyright laws have swung far too much in favour of so called "rights holders", who use their wealth and political pull to prevent change and extend "their rights"
Many consider such laws oppressive.
I could give you a shed load of quotes from well known philosophers that say oppressive laws are tyrannical and should be fought and broken. Some say it is a moral duty to do so.
The copyright situation is a little more complex than the picture I have described above but such arguments could justify/explain how certain people act.
