I am not a lawyer, this answer is written from a philosophical perspective, not a legal one. Caveat lector.

This depends upon the ethical system you subscribe to. By definition, what is 'ethical' and what is 'legal' are not directly related, however, some ethical systems might DEFINE an action as unethical BECAUSE it is illegal.
