I guess I have less faith in the justice system. Because to me it implies someone escaping unjust imprisonment by corrupt authority.

To me it's not about faith in anything, it's about calling a spade a spade. Use language that calls out authority that is corrupt rather than try to re-frame the language that normally applies to criminals. You only muddy the waters when you do it your way.

But what sort of term would you prefer? Slave revolt? Peasant uprising? Storming the Bastille?

I see no need for such inaccurate simile at all. Just say what you're doing: modifying your property. Reclaiming your right to repair things. Bypassing vendor lock-in. Reusing obsolete technology rather than tossing it into the dump. 8da3ce1cdc09bfd4ba12b7dab9e3582ce85f449255a0bb502b03ff58777ada23
