Then, just to be fair, try to convince yourself of any sort of reason as to why you would have the right to do that to someone else and if you did do it, you would not have done something wrong.
If you can't truly convince yourself then you've found your first moral absolute. If you can, then you are the classic definition of a psychopath.

You are confusing philosophy and psychology. That you are morally obliged to do something does not imply that you have to have some beliefs.
If you are a utilitarianist of some kind you always looks at the consequence of actions to decide if they are morally right or not. There are no absolutes. And that is a perfectly sensible opinion. And from this standpoint your questions previously in the thread is answered by "you look at the utility and try to maximize it" and that can lead to you doing an action that lead to copyright infringement.
