If you don't like the rules you change them, not break them. Simple as that.

Were the Swifties as PAC? That was the question. In Fayeteville during the run-up to the election you could see moveon.org people/stickers/propaganda at the Democrat table during 4th Fridays and other events downtown. That is a clear violation of the 527 rule.
Does speaking out against a candidate make you and your fellows a PAC? I would think not but politicians and judges will now make that call. If I get my neighbors together to oppose a city council candidate are we a PAC? Are the people with the "No Dump Here" signs a PAC? Is political speach now required to be under PAC rules?
Free Speach took a hit with Campaign Finance "Reform" and will take more in the near future. Grass Roots organizations will be slammed. Talk radio is next on the hit list. Internet after that.
