Wikipedia:
The "refusal" part is where you challenge the authorities.
The "professed" part is where you do it publically.
The "media attention" is the bit where you are not an idiot. If no one knows you went to jail, that's just willfully breaking the law.
"Media attention" doesn't appear on your quote nor the entitreity of that Wikipedia article.
The other two are merely your personal interpretation of how you split the phrase "professed refusal"
Professed can as easily be satisfied by going on a piracy forum and declaring your allegiance to the movement.
Refusal is what piracy is. The act of ignoring copyright law, is the refusal.
"I do not agree with copyright law and will not be restricted by it" -- This statement satisfies "professed refusal"
I do not have to petition my senator.
I don't have to stand on a street corner with a sign.
I will take it further and claim that you or anyone else adding arbitrary rules to how one must practice civil disobedience is antithetical to civil disobedience.
