In my home country there is a famous saying that roughly translates into "where law turns into injustice, resistance becomes duty". I guess you know who said it and under what circumstances. The law has no self serving purpose. It is there to serve the people. It's sole role is to allow *all* of us to live better lives. As ethical and hopefully thinking entities we should not be beyond challenging legal interpretation and applying common sense and ethical thoughts to it - especially when we get the feeling the law is harming the very people it is supposed to protect In a country that has that little regards for democratic process that it can march it's people into an unjustifiable war even against popular opinion and all of this still being "legal" I have no hesitation at all acting against the law when it seems both necessary and ethical. Very different from acting against the law for personal gain.
