I agree, not every law is just or moral (otherwise laws would never change), and what to do to change it is an interesting thing.
Obviously you can challenge them through the courts if you have the resources.
Or society at large can challenge the laws; make them change simply by having different mores and expressing displeasure at the standard.
Or barring that maybe through civil disobedience? I don't know if I'd ever advocate or participate in violence, but I also have never lived in a society where slavery was still in place or something like that. My idea of civil disobedience is to video myself cracking encryption that is illegal to crack because I think the laws are unjust and posting that on youtube.
