The law is bullshit, with respect to computer crimes and copyright. You still need to accurately know what the current law is in order to change it, though. And unfortunately it will probably require legislative action to change it, which is going to go up against entrenched interests.

Boycott or other commercial actions against anyone who supports the copyright empire would be one way of getting the law changed.

Unfortunately people in the tech community are going to get distracted by other stuff (both stupid legislation like getting involved in gun control, and reasonable stuff like working on cool new technology), so mounting the sustained, multi-year effort to fix this is going to be very difficult.
