The bottom-line – if you reside in a country that forbids file-sharing of copyrighted material, you’re breaking the law. You can carry on all day about the unfairness of the publishing and music industries, whether they be philosophical and/or related to pricing, the free flow of information, opening up the flood gates on a heretofore repressed pool of mass creativity, etc, etc, etc – but at the end of the day, you’re breaking the law.
If you want to change those laws, awesome, I applaud you, do so through appropriate, legal channels, but please, if you want to be taken seriously where it really matters, don’t try to claim it’s A-OK – the law says otherwise.

Profanity? Really? That's how you respond? Laws change for all kinds of reasons, and many of the most important laws were changed because of people breaking the law. They are changed by civil disobedience that becomes a societal movement, and eventually becomes a norm. Examples: Civil Rights Movement, Suffrage Movement, The Anti-Slavery Abolitionists - all were involved in 'illegal' acts. All 'broke the law'.
