I'll be honest. I like to reserve the ability to one day do something "criminal", if I have to. If I'm desparate and have to feed my family, and have no other option, I'd like to be able to resort to petty fraud. If the government in my country turns more authoritarian, and into a dictatorship, I'd like to be able to break some laws, too. I can imagine how a printer might be useful in either case.

Also, many things that are legal now, are only so because people have been blazing the trail by breaking laws before. Think marijuana, homosexuality, ... heck even things like religious freedom, freedom of speach, democracy a few hundred years ago.
