Even that is not clear-cut. You would have to belong to a religious/philosophical group that views it as such for it to be considered "wrong" in the first place. Then there would be the question of why it was committed. Was it done in defense of one's life? Did it involve an abused wife killing her husband, an abused child killing his/her parent? Was it state-sanctioned in a time of war? A state-authorized sentence?
If you agree with the action because of the situation involved, then you are viewing murder as being "right" not "wrong". As I said, nothing in life is just black-or-white, and to start drawing parallels between ebook piracy and things like murder in order to establish degrees of immorality is - to me anyway - silly.
