Whether or not copyright law has been violated is not a question of morality.

This assertion dismisses the ethical considerations often intertwined with legal principles.

No, that's stupid. Copyright is a purely legal framework. That's it, end of story. If you still don't understand, reread the entire discussion.

Exactly. Violation of copyright may be an ethical or unethical act, but that doesn't change the fact that copyright law was violated.
