    I'd think that everyone has infringed sometime, somewhere in their lives.

    The laws, to be obeyed, must be accepted as such have some added value other than harassing the citizen eg. if I am speeding I accept to be marked as acting wrong (because even while breaking it I basically respect that law/regulation). When I copy something from the web I do not have the feeling of "doing" anything wrong....

    No you don't.
    The very act of flouting/ breaking a law automatically implies disrespect/ contempt for that law.

    I don't think so pal, what if it's a law you don't even know exists? In the old days they didn't have telecommunications to let everyone know about all the knew laws they passed so each state basically set it's own. Don't play this BS with me !!!

    Nice try, but again, if you don't know about a law how can you respect it?
    And note that I did state "flouting" before breaking.
    Do try to think before you throw accusations of BS.

    Shakespeare put forward in Measure for Measure the concept of "the mercy of the law"

    a girl comes to a duke to ask him for the mercy to her boyfriend who did something wrong and duke is going to punish him for that. Duke laughs and answers her that punishing the boy is a mercy for the boy because if he stayed unpunished he would go on doing wrong and destroy himself eventually.

    That aspect makes us to respect the law (for protecting us from becoming bad for punishing us when we are too week to live up to it..)

    Grow up.

    If people break the law how does that show respect?
    Or do you consider lip service to be "respect"?
    So far all you've done is make claims, either back them up or shut up.

    Damn you person! You're ridiculious, if someone respects all laws then a new one is passed and they break it without knowing, how the hell can you say they have no respect for law? It's stupid..... this is stupid

    And you seem to be incapable of following an argument.

    The stupidity here appears to be yours.
    You will (should have) note(d) that I addressed this in post 10.
    To claim respect for something of which you are ignorant is highly silly.
    One could claim respect for the concept of law, but to claim that someone respects a particular law when they don't know it, or even that it exists is hardly logical.
    And you are wandering far from the point.
    ProCop claimed that he respected a law while knowingly breaking it. Again, hardly logical.
