By your own authority, then. Are you a judge, or governor, or a bishop or something?

I'm arguing based on reasoning, not authority. Are you a satire account by any chance?

By what authority do you promote illegal activity?

I mean, I support civil disobedience, and jury nullification, and such things, but those are generally personal matters, that one does not promote or encourage in public.

Absolutely remarkable that folks in this thread appear to hate freedom so much that I can't even recommend freely-licensed Creative Commons content.

Why would you assume they are promoting "illegal activity".

Not every country has signed the Berne Convention, and of those that have signed a number are only bound by the minimum copyright and IP laws of their own country rather than the maximum protections that other countries might hold to.

Because people refrained from encouraging jury nullification, it is now completely irrelevant.

No one gets a trial with which a jury could even choose to nullify the charges.

When you act coy with this stuff, they sneak around subverting it to the point that it no longer works. Did you see what happened to OWS ten years back?

Not being any of those things gives extra authority, if anything, in my experience.
