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.

If it's self-defense or otherwise justifiable, it's not murder. Murder by definition is unlawful killing.
