I say that sharing 1 ebook with 1 friend is illegal, but isn't immoral.

Since you're arguing that quantity doesn't matter in cases of morality, which which of these two assertions do you disagree?
If I give an eBook I bought to a friend and then deleted every copy I have on my computer & backed up, is that still illegal? I may have access to that eBook via the shop I bought it from, but if I don't download it and I don't have access to it otherwise via my computer, is it illegal?
