We could. But it would be quite silly and more than a little disingenuous for us to trivialize participating in those illegal activities by comparing them to participating in ineffecient charging technologies in any way whatsoever.
Let's stick to comparing my "inefficient charging" indifference to other legal (and especially non-criminal) activities, shall we? If using inefficient charging technologies were a chargeable offense, you'd have a point.

Quite stirring. Can't quite muster a "huzzah" though.
