I don't feel bad about downloading movies because I go see them in the theater pretty often.

So as long as you buy most of your food, stealing the rest is OK?

Since when did you become the morality police? I seem to recall you claiming waterboarding was alright.
I don't care if it is stealing. I'm going to continue to do it. You know why? Because studios completely half ass their DVD releases in the first place. They don't put any kind of thought into the packaging. It is usually little more than a piece of plastic. The only thing of value they even give me is the disc itself. I don't like paying money to feel like I am getting ripped off. In this day and age, I could just DVR the movies and put them onto a disc later. But I guess that doesn't count.
Now you want to talk about a film company that actually puts work into their releases that I am willing to buy, you can talk about Criterion. They don't half ass their stuff and make me feel like I am paying them to slack off. I still regularly buy stuff from them.

You are going into a profession to practice law when you clearly have no use for it.
Your premise, is it’s ok to break a law if the lawbreaker feels justified.
Why have laws?

It's what HD Thoreau taught, and he is still taught in college lit courses as one of the most important American thinkers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau

That is a great injustice to Thoreau.
Civil Disobedience is only to be used in a case of extreme injustice.
Not. "I don't like this law so i'm going to ignore it."
It's "This law is fundamentally wrong."
Besides I can't see Akuma being a big Thoreau guy. Afterall his motto was something akin to
"The best government is one that governs the least."
