EDIT: The entire purpose of Civil Disobedience is to force the governments hand by making clear how unpopular what they're doing is. It's intended purpose is absolutely to change the direction of representative government.

Eugene Debs going to jail for speaking against the War and breaking anti-sedition laws in the process is an example of Civil Disobedience. You sitting on your fat ass not risking anything and pirating an episode of The Real Wives of Orange County or some other useless fucking pop-culture drivel is not and will never be Civil Disobedience.
"Civil Disobedience" when no one sees what you're doing is just "disobedience."
