This is the main issue. We do interpret the law. We do not necessarily obey the
law.

Einstein: "Don't ever do anything against your consciousness, even if the State
demands it from you."

You do not obey the law if the law forces you to put "inferior races" in gas
chambers.

Pirating software (again: I am against it)is not such an extreme case. Still, in
all laws, all morals, there is room for interpretation. Black amd white moral
stuff seldom works.
