Then explain why people can make copies of TV programs in entirety as
long as its not for profit. You can even show the program to a friend.

Congress settled this issue in favor of the consumer many years ago
when Sony tried to take over home recording. You can do what you want
as long as it does not result in a profit.

I realize that there has been an extensive agenda of Judicial
Activism, where courts attempt to write laws. And they get by with it
because it takes so long to fight it in the Supreme Court, and even
then the chances for overturning judicial activism is not all that
good.

I will give my consent to be governed by the laws passed by Congress.
I will not consent to greedy lawyers buying crooked judges who screw
around with the law for the benefit of special interests. You can put
a gun to my head and I still will not consent to be governed that way.
That is not the Rule of Law, it is the Rule of Men. If you succumb to
it, you are not a citizen - you are a peasant.
