Yes, we should remain subservient to an abusive, quickly antiquating industry and it's politically subversive methods. Or, we can accept that while piracy is wrong, it's not the boogeyman that these luddites have made it out to be, and it's certainly not worth the vicious punishments doled out by Governments. Do the creators of these wonderful cultural works deserve to be paid? Absolutely. And you'll notice that the same pirates are more than willing to crowdfund through Kickstater or directly a la Louis CK. But as long as the organizations controlling the legal rights to these cultural works continue to actively subvert our democracy, you won't find sympathy from me or many others. I consider it civil disobedience. YMMV.
