Actually it's the exact same topic. The progress of change happens in this order:
1. Legislation
2. Illegal behaviour contrary to legislation
3. Government crackdown on citizenry
4. Lobbying for change/repealing of laws
What happens after is up to the courts, but the only ways unjust laws can change is if citizenry combats it, rather than says "oh well I guess that's the law then, even if it only benefits large corporations and isn't beneficial to the common person in any way."

Sweet."
