You goto jail for not paying for mIRC too, dont you?
I don't know what kind of laws they have where you live, but in the US (as you can see with the whole RIAA thing) the worst thing that is going to happen to you is a lawsuit, you're not going to jail over $20.
My point is that even though you pay for these things (like the right to live in camelot), you don't necessarily get a say in all matters (like why your brother lost his hands for stealing).
Again, I don't know where you live, but in the US we have the right to petition our elected representatives, we also have the right to choose who our representatives will be. So again I say, you're comparison is flawed.
