History abounds with examples that prove the folly in claiming something to be immoral or unethical simply because it is illegal.
I would hate to think anyone believed it was immoral to help a slave escape, to harbor a Jew, for our Founding Fathers to rebel, to walk backwards eating ice cream, or for a woman to have more than six BOBs.
Laws are made and revoked by politicians, often under the influence of immoral, self-interested lobbies. They vary between countries, including copyright and DMCA laws.
Determining what is ethical requires much deeper thought than looking up the current statutes.
