Intellectual property rights aren't holy scriptures. Not every right should be respected and it seems dishonest to play that card. It's the same idea as law isn't moral just because it's the law. It can still be unjust and immoral, depending on the circumstances. To follow a hard line of always adhering to the law without any regard for the consequences or context can lead to bad outcomes.
