You haven't answered my question: why do we try to get the _laws_
changed rather than work on ways to circumvent them and neutralize the
harm they cause? Because following your arguments on free content, we
could as well say (on the topic of surveillance) "OK, the laws are
there, we accept them, but we'll set up anonymizer services so that
anybody can avoid the surveillance".

Well that seems to be a difference between us (and I admit that in the
German Pirate Party you represent the majority) - for me the copyright
reform was the central motive for joining the PP and working in it.
And please, don't mimic the low-level press that tries to denounce our
goals on copyright as "free downloads for all".
Best regards,
Boris
