"An unjust law is no law at all...has become a standard legal maxim around the world."[1] "Thomas Aquinas [argued] ... a law only need to be obeyed if it is [among other things] ... for the common good."[1] The question we have to ask is: Is current copyright law unjust? Well, it allows telling people that they are buying something (in large print, even if the fine print says something else) then taking that thing away. And copyright on digital goods allows unprecedented control over how tools are used, when and where content can be shown, and how things that we've paid for can be retained and resold. And it is also clear that recent copyright laws were written for the benefit of a few corporations, not for the common good. So I'm beginning to believe that current copyright law is unjust and should be disobeyed as a principled form of civil disobedience, not merely for convenience or to save money. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_unjust_law_is_no_law_at_all https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_unjust_law_is_no_law_at_all
