But can it be morally justifyable to download a book (or anything else, for that matter) which has been illegally uploaded? You may feel that you have a "moral" right to that book, but has the person who uploaded it acted "morally" in doing so? If not (and I think that most people would regard illegally uploaded copyrighted material as immoral) then I think personally that you are on very shaky ground in claiming to be "morally justified" in
downloading that material.
