I don&#x27;t agree with laws - they are nothing but opinions backed by guns - therefore I don&#x27;t need to respect any law in any part of the world - I need only respect reasoned arguments that I can agree with.<p>Respecting laws is no different from accepting bullying. I respect murder and rape laws not because they are laws but because the arguments against killing win over those for killing, and the arguments against rape win over those for rape.<p>But the arguments against piracy <i>lose</i> to the arguments for piracy.
