All a matter of perspective, which is why we can't just arbitrarily declare our conduct beneficial and pretend like that's a license to break the relevant laws.

If one believes that a proposed-but-currently-illegal behavior is beneficial to society, the technically correct way to go about rectifying the situation is to discuss with your local democratic representatives, who can take the issue back to the legislative chamber and work to correct the law. Admittedly, that's pretty impractical at this point.
