Let us know how it works out. It's great in theory to stick to your principles but taking on the government in that way is almost certainly a losing battle. There are better ways to bring about change.

It all starts by noticing that there is something odd about the way governments are trying to structure things, and then raising awareness about it.

There might be better ways to bring about change, but if you don't say what they are then that doesn't help much.

There's a whole spectrum available from dialogue with government members to bloody revolution. But I don't see how passive aggressively breaking arbitrary civil laws that happen to be your pet peeve either raises awareness or puts any pressure on the government at all.

Not sure the French of all people need lectures on bringing about change and taking on the government.

The person I responded to didn't seem to be French ("governments" not "or government") and I'm not sure the French have a history of opposing their governments through copyright violations.
