The question raised in the title demonstrates a failure to understand what "civil disobedience" means. If you aren't breaking the law to protest the injustice of the law, you aren't committing civil disobedience. So, the two things posed as alternatives aren't actually alternatives; characterizing hacktivism as civil disobedience (given that it the "cyber" part is indisputable) requires first <i>accepting</i> that it <i>is</i> cybercrime, even if it shouldn't be, and any form of hacktivism that isn't cybercrime also isn't civil disobedience.
