I do kind of get where you're coming from but I think you're overstating the danger here.

Life is riddled with dangers. Cars that can kill you, diseases, angry humans, animals. The risk isn't great - statistically speaking - but it's never zero. I can relate to fear creeping into ones thoughts but we mustnt give into them.

Besides insane privilege, the only way to improve ones situation in this world is to take risks. As Youtube has flourished through copyright infringement before pulling up the ladder after themselves, we need to abolish the idea of the law abiding citizen. There is no good in following law, only morals. Obviously one should choose wisely which laws to ignore and do so in a smart way. We should also change them to benefit humanity, not mega corporations but that is a longer task.

In any case, I suggest we all give it a try and do what we think is best instead of letting fear govern our lives.

Have a good one.
