Laws, Laws, Laws

If a government breaks the law to enforce a different law, should the law they are enforcing be nullified? What if the government creates new laws that break higher laws to protect a lower law or rule? Should governments spend huge amounts of resources (money and people amongst them) to protect the interests of a few corporations? More and more, governments everywhere seem to be violating their citizens rights to enforce things like copyright laws. Sadly, those resources should be used for more important things, not wasted on chasing after kids, moms and grandparents that maybe linked to MP3 downloads. If we have the resources to spy on citizens to catch them downloading music or movies, why can't we use those to solve serious crimes like murders? Or use those funds to improve society to prevent crimes? In the grand scheme of things, MP3s and movies are insignificant specs of dust that should not warrant our attention as a society -- wasting huge quantities of government resources most definitely should elicit our attention and action.
