I think big pharma companies are corrupt and charge too much, but I wouldn't rob a drug store because of it. Similarly, just because copyright terms are horrifically overextended doesn't mean I think it's okay to steal movies.

Robbing drug stores is different. You're hurting someone who isn't at fault - your local pharmacist - and stealing something of material value.

Now, if you want to talk about synthesising "copyrighted" drugs and giving them away, or even selling them for a fraction of the price, I'm with you 100%.

Patented; it's called "patented". And thanks to the magic of supply and demand, even selling them for same price would help, if not as much.
