That's why I think you cannot say anything is morally wrong. Not in a general way. What you think is morally wrong doesn't have to be morally wrong for another person.
I downloaded a book last night I've been searching for for some time. Did I do something morally wrong? I don't think so. That book isn't for sale anymore. Except maybe second hand (though, not in the second hand bookshop in my town). Would I have bought it had the publisher published it in ebook format: must certainly, yes. Did I do something illegal by my country's laws? No. Did I do something morally wrong? Why can decide that but me?
