Being broken gives you an unreliable reputation and people will make fun of your lack of system operations skillz.

Being sued by the RIAA makes you look like a hero of freedom and people will say good things about you and how bad it would be if you lose.

Yeah, but if you get caught, everyone hates you. Not worth the risk, and I doubt that's the case here.
