Sure, most people don't think about the immorality of copyright laws when sharing files, but that doesn't make the laws moral.

As for sticking it to the man, I was precisely trying to move the analogy from man-centered (the Amish) to the bigger picture: immoral laws preserving a bad business model that impacts the whole society. Quite the opposite of the Amish actually.

"but that doesn't make the laws moral."

Doesn't make them immoral, either. Next you'll be saying "property is theft".

Indeed. I was just expressing my point of view.

"Next you'll be saying "property is theft"."

No, this wild extrapolation doesn't reflect my views.
