People are so out of touch with how far the US has slipped into surveillance capitalism. You simply cannot get away with doing stuff like that today.

Not with that attitude.

There are tens of millions of people pirating software and media and blocking ads. There are not enough prisons to hold them all so the law is not enforceable at that scale.

Likewise there have always been and will always be effective non violent forms of resistance with sufficient systems of coordination and communication, because the public is always larger in number than the oppressors.
