Yes, but don't forget that laws are not set in stone, and they must serve the needs of a society. It's clear that clients such as Napster and Gnutella exist because of failures in the pricing schemes of those below-mentioned companies. Martin Luther King was breaking the law for years before people finally woke up and changed an unjust law. The question really is whether it's just to put people in prison for copying such material. Does the punishment fit the crime? Are the current laws reflecting the needs of our society? "Breaking the law" alone is a moot point--the real issue is WHY are people doing it? The answer: because the laws are unjust and fail to provide for our modern society's needs. It used to be that artists couldn't exist without the publishing house because there were no means to distribute the music without one. Now, publishing houses are obsolete--and to compensate for their dwindling importance, they're lobbying for stricter copyright laws which don't even serve the artists themselves, and which threaten to keep the web stuck in a pen-and-paper age. We should all be proud, as King's supporters were, to break arcane and unjust laws.
