Normal people and police do this every single day with usually little ill effect. Police are not obligated to pursue every instance of a violation they see, a person is in theory obligated to follow every applicable law, but in practice, they do not (and the sheer volume of law ensures that it's impossible anyways), and the world hasn't come crashing down.

The idea that ignoring wrong or inconvenient laws leads to social collapse rings quite hollow, in light of that.

If we treat all laws as equal because they are the law, then a person who drives over the speed limit has logically done just as bad as someone who kills another.

Can we agree that this suggestion is absurd on its face?

If we instead acknowledge that some laws are more important than others, the more difficult question has to be asked "what defines that importance?", which logically means that there are some laws that are not that important at all, who's violation has little to no negative societal impact. Like going a mile over the speed limit.

Or more to the point of this discussion, like downloading a movie from your favorite torrent site.

If morals drive laws and not the other way around, the moral consensus seems to be shifting towards the fact that copyright infringement is morally neutral, or at least not that bad, on the same level as going a mile over the speed limit. It's technically illegal, you could be made an example out of if someone really wants to, but the chances of that happening are all but nonexistent.
