My intent was for all three to be considered separately. I didn't specify whether it was immoral/moral, ethical/unethical, or legal/illegal.
However my real point is that the Silk Road creator and maintainer is responsible and accountable along all three axes. If it is moral, ethical, and legal then that's great! If it's moral, ethical, but illegal then that kinda sucks but that's the risk you take. Morals and ethics are an endless debate which is beside the point here. My opinion is that the initial comparison vs eBay is unreasonble and that the creator is responsible in all three ways.

The doctors behaviors may or may not be legal (depending on the specifics of how he metes out his narcotics) but the strip mall owner shouldn't be held liable just because some of his clients are possibly selling narcotics in violation of the law.
