It depends.

Is your goal to never work with the state, or do you intend to reconcile with it at some point?

If you never intend to obey laws, then yes. You should stop promoting Tor if Tor becomes illegal.

If you intend to get the law changed back in your favor, then you should continue promoting Tor if Tor becomes illegal.

Up to you.

I intend to be moral. This can coincide with obeying the law and with breaking it.

Then figure out whether promoting Tor is moral and do it. Don't ask someone else for your morals.

I'm just pointing out the inherent contradictions in claiming that black markets are evil.
