Exactly. The rule was created to protect people. Not do them harm, or give certain people unfair advantages. It is therefore a perfectly reasonable law and should be followed.
If you want another example, take file sharing. File sharing used to be legal. But was it moral? You were essentially stealing things, which you should never do.
It all depends on how obvious the rules are. Some of the "dumb rules" I gave examples of are probably completely reasonable. They were enacted to solve a problem. Such as local kids tormenting endangered lizards in a nearby park. But to us they sound crazy.
