Well, no, laws don't determine what is or isn't moral. I think you can usually assume that a law has the force of right on its side, but obviously history has shown that isn't always the case and it isn't the case here. In other words, it's not the final word.

I'd actually say the internet is "shaming" them because they did something really ####ty. Legal or not.

Yup. I have no problem with calling people out but I'm just becoming concerned at the sheer scale of it and the complete inability to control the consequences. Karma's fine, but if you can't match the punishment to the crime, then it becomes a crime unto itself.
