Not necessarily. Of course, when you need more money and power, that's why groups like the EFF exist. To fight for you.

SOPA passed then, right? Please. This attitude of yours does more harm. Those with the "money and power" would love for you to think this way. Defeatism helps more than money.
As it stands, the law gives us amazing power.
That being said, GitHub has every right to dictate the conditions of their use. You, as a user, have a right to not use their service if you disagree. In fact, this allows competitors to provide their services to you (and their are competitors to GitHub).
Having no law would be a form of anarchy. People with more money and power would still rule.
The groups that Anarchy would promote would be different than having law would promote. In the end, the masses are still powerless.
