To me, the difference is a question of strategy. Guerilla warfare can work, but due to the sacrifices (developers moving their families to India, etc), it doesn't make sense to me as a first result. Given that our legal and political systems are functional enough that we can fight for better software legislation within the system, it makes sense to do so.

Of course this situation could change, or it could change for some things (crypto) but not others (intellectual property)...
