Saints, I'm unsure why you posted a law specifically detailing mutiny and sedition. Are you suggesting that all instances considered to be civil disobedience fall under that category?
Also, I didn't make the claim you seem to be implying I had. I never said that all claims of unlawful activity being a form of civil disobedience are equally contentious (or valid). Quite the contrary. What exactly qualifies as civil disobedience by definition is indeed often debated. Obviously that doesn't mean there are many cases where unlawful activity can be excluded as qualifying as a form of civil disobedience more easily than others.
