> When laws are bad, people should thumb their nose at them

You (and Internet Archive) are about to learn what happens when the courts fail to be persuaded regarding the 'badness' of the law in question.

[bluefirebrand → ezekiel68]

All throughout history there have been people who break laws they disagree with and get punished for it

Sometimes those laws wind up changed later, because of their actions

I personally don't agree that this particular thing is worth taking a stand on, but I do applaud Internet Archive for being willing to take a stand for what they believe is important enough. It takes guts

I think this issue is worth taking a stand on, and through this entire situation I'm just peeved that they chose this particular way to fight for it.

They couldn't find a more effective and less risky way to try to change the law than bashing their face against it, with predictable results?

Yet another example of the laws of the world being bought by large powerful moneyed interests.
