This statement flies in the face of all human history. If the laws or their application are sufficiently unjust, the people will not comply. (c.f. American Revolution, India, South Africa, and - dare I say - Iraq.) There is also a large, established branch of copyright law know as Fair Use which has been quite ignored by the antagonists in this case.

  It is absurd to compare tune stealing with, for instance, the fight against apartheid in South Africa. The latter was an epic struggle for human dignity. The former is just amoral hedonism masquerading as some kind of Robin Hood redistributive scheme. As for Fair Use, it does not allow people to make illegal copies of copyrighted recordings freely available on a public network.
