Which right would that be?
the right to break the law?
no one did to make sharing music or movies legal by trying to talk with
the israeli copyright holder and getting to some agreement (like done in
canada).
But now people get scared all the sudden and want something done?
I don't think anyone who break the law like that should be help, if
anything there should be an efford to make it legal not to protect the
people who did it when it wasn't.

Anyhow didn't someone say something about fsf in israel?:)
