Even then, the laws I enforce don't have to influence my view of the world.

Wrong here. In democratic societies, law is made by such representatives, but rarely according to real wishes of the people, and always with personal interests of the lawmakers factored in. Please show me how the law is made by the people in totalitarian regimes.

Wrong here. If the law says you cannot make a copy legally, it just means that it was forbidden to copy. In the best possible circumstances it *might* mean that the makers of this law *thought* that this law would benefit the society as a whole, and they *might* be right, depending on characteristcs of the given society.
You behave as if law was something God-given and you an unasking believer.
