My favorite illegal activities are subversive. If you're consciously doing something illegal its nice to make it known and make a statement by it, then the illegal status of whatever you're doing highlights the point you're trying to make. It raises questions like why is this illegal? What is the purpose of the law? Do I really have the elbow room in free speech I think I have? Banksy's art is like that, or the guy from that documentary "Man On Wire." Less serious, but one of my favorites is the Red Hot Chili Peppers taking a dump in a pizza box and delivering it to their record label.
