The guy in Tiananmen square who got ran over by the tank did not escape their vengeance, but I would say that he did win. His death made a statement that was worldwide and history making.
To a lesser extent Edward Snowden didn't fully escape their vengeance with impunity. He gave up his girlfriend, his life, his career. But he did win. He had a profound effect. He will probably go down in history in a very positive light.
Princess Leia's home planet may not have survived, but it probably galvanized the rebellion in a way nothing else could.
Luke lost his family. That galvanized him to join the rebellion when earlier he had been talking like "...it's not that I like the empire, I hate it, but..." and would probably have become a storm trooper.
When Sherridan declared Babylon 5's independence from Earth, that didn't make him very popular with the government back on Earth.
As long as there are options, people will seek them out.

Those children who are victims need to learn how to get lawyers, and lobbyists, and learn how to work the political system in favor of their interests.
Compare this law to raising the age to legally buy e-cigarettes to 21.
Now if teenagers continue to buy e-cigs, then can really crack down by raising the legal purchase age to, say, 30. That will stop those teenagers from buying e-cigs.
Without using a single bit of faith, I can assure you with fact and reason that dead people whose works are still under copyright do not need any further incentive to create new works, and probably will not create any new works.
The children of dead authors and creators also do not need any incentive for their dead ancestor to create new works.
If you want to talk about faith based, then talk to artists and actors who pray that they might actually see a wee bit of the huge pile of money after Hollywood Accounting is done with it.

Back in times when laws were more sane, people could fairly naturally understand that serious crimes had serious penalties.
Rob a bank at gunpoint, and get serious jail time. The average person might not know what the exact penalty actually is. But they know it probably is somehow related to the seriousness of the crime.
Kill someone, similarly, a serious crime, and serious punishment.
Jaywalking, a minor crime, a minor punishment.
Once laws become insane, people become confused about what new 'crimes' are serious and which ones are not. Sort of like in most dictatorships and police states in the world. Smiling the wrong way at the dear leader could be a very serious crime indeed.
Copyright is not only censorship. Copyright is not only about corrupting the mechanisms of democracy. Copyright is not only about working against the best interests of the people you see as indentured customer servants. Copyright is not only about taking away a kid's savings that was to go for their college education. But copyright is also about throwing people in jail for years and years. Ruining lives. Ruining families. Because -- OMG!!! -- they downloaded a song!

Laws hastily passed
In Boston it is illegal to bathe without authorization of a physician.
And I won't even mention how many crazy laws there are in various states about selling things (like toothbrushes) on Sunday.
Lawmakers that pass ridiculous laws in haste should lose their privileged position. Laws need to be good. Well thought out. Debated.
