Well I think that killing somebody driving a car is equivalent to murder and satisfy your example so we already have the situation. But that is just my opinion

Those who do not believe there are absolutes find it easy to find rationales for such a belief. That is fine. It does not mean they are automatically correct though.
What does "correct" mean here?

My point was that there are some basic moral philosophy theories that works radically different. Different people subscribe to different theories or no theory at all. So the correct question to ask is if the basic theories lead to the same conclusions.

And in the case of copyright it seems that people subscribing to a rights based theory tend to come to different conclusions then people subscribing to a consequence ethics theory.
