The law doesn’t require your agreement.

Of course it does. If the people decide a law is unconstitutional or unjust they will elect an Executive and a Legislature that will nominate and appoint judges who agree, and through them, either strike down the law as unconstitutional or amend the Constitution.

The “people” have made no such decision. Thus, you’re a criminal. This law is neither unconstitutional, nor unjust. Protection of private property is among the limited powers of government — as is imprisonment of those who violate private property (including intellectual property).

Spare me the lectures on Constitutional law. Copyright law does not require your individual consent, only the consent of the majority of duly elected legislators and the executive. That consent was obtained when the law was passed.

Bottom line, you’re SOL — and, therefore, a criminal.
