I respectfully disagree. This is what we have ballot boxes for. And issue groups who lobby lawmakers to try to get changes in the law. And opinion articles, and legal support groups (can you say EFF?) and lots and lots of other approaches to making changes. Don't like the current copyright regime? Write to your lawmakers and tell them why! Then vote to match.
I also note that I'd choose behaving ethically over following the law in most circumstances. And I come from a country where our history both provides a fine example showing that sometimes a revolution is the ethical choice and also shows how bad things need to be before that becomes true (there's this small issue of extremely high costs [in lives, money, time, paint, etc.] to all concerned). And we're not
anywhere near that point on this issue! Or even on any issue IMHO.
