However, is it moral just to ignore a law because you think it is bad, or shouldn't apply to you?

I neither think it's bad nor good. It is what it is: a protection of corporate investments. I have no investment in that corporation and the act of downloading does not cause human harm or suffering, so the law is irrelevant to me. I will download within a given range of what I personally find to be acceptable.
