A key thing to always keep in mind is that legality isn't morality. Sometimes the right thing to do is also illegal. Now, succeeding because you want to own other humans definitely isn't moral, but the act itself could be sometimes.
Morality is never the law. Sometimes people try to force their morality into law, but that can't work for everyone because everyone has different moral guidelines.
