<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not at all. The law is a civil construct. Ethics are a different topic. However, it is hard to argue that doing something illegal is right.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not necessarily. The specific context and application of the not-illegal action matters. I instantly thought of two examples where a legal action would not be considered morally &quot;right.&quot;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Could you please be a little more vague?

Or in other words, what I consider right/morale may differ greatly from what you recognize as the same. <br /><br />Legal/legality is a term that defines an actions allowance by law. There is zero subjectively to it; it is either allowed or not allowed. Beliefs/ethics do not come into play here.<br /><br />So to answer your question, it depends on the individual, the action, and the location of the event.
