This is completely untrue. As long as companies are allowed to lie on their advertising, as long as companies can legally price-fix, there is no real choice in consumption. There has to be regulation.
It's this stance that likens Libertarians to Republicans. They're all for personal rights until you try to limit rights of corporations, and then they go ape shit.

Is the correct method to enact change to just not abide by laws?

How exactly do you propose we start the process to limit the amount of laws that our congressmen are allowed to break? Did you know that they're immune to insider trading laws? Should I contact my congressman and tell him that I know and that I think he should change his ways? No, it's legal, and the only way to fix peacefully this is going to be through mass demonstrations. When that fails, violence will ensue. Congress has their chance to step down and stop being piggypiggypiggypiggypiggy greedy. Presently, they're passing on the opportunity, and the sheep such as yourself are just feeding into it deeper.
When the coup comes, the people on the fence will fall on the side of those rising up. Those like you will die like the 1%.
