Ah I see. So it's better to deprive these skilled individuals of resources that allow them to work to their potential and increase their standing in the world community and be more capable to affect real change in their home country?

Just because something is against the law doesn't make it right.
And disregarding a couple questionable laws does not suspending all laws. There is no slippery slope, society will not collapse, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
The flip side is ISP's and companies providing data delivery are in for a huge devaluing a la AT&T's collapse in the telephone market. The services they provide are not fundamentally worth the value (data) they provide in return.
