Ah, the standard misuse of terminology. I'm surprised you didn't work "theft" or "stealing" in there too.
It's questionable whether downloading itself is actually illegal. Even if it is, it is definitely not criminal. However, using that language does make for a more intimidating way of making your point.
As far as your main point about the civil disobedience, I tend to agree.
