This is exactly backwards. If you accept some amount of civil disobedience is justifiable then you can't very well go and say anyone "infringing copyright" is "disreputable." I said "some amount" and you don't disagree. We're not discussing what that precise amount is or how it should be targeted, that's a different discussion and can be framed in multiple, competing ways. Feel free to lay out what you think is the correct amount and correctly targeted but even if you are wildly wrong in your thoughts, your being wrong doesn't make anyone else with differing thoughts about that amount and targeting disreputable, even if they are for some other reason. There is a legitimate argument that the law should always be followed and any law-breaking is inherently disreputable. It's not my argument although I acknowledge it and isn't fashionable nowadays given how that must be applied to, for example, the civil rights movement & Dr King.
