The term 'socially acceptable' makes the conclusion hard to pin down.

I'd say piracy is 'socially acceptable' - in the sense that not many people would bat an eyelid if you said you'd downloaded one of the latest movies illegally. But that doesn't mean I think it's right or that people should do it - it's just an observation on what seems to be "socially acceptable." What is socially acceptable does not typically match up with what I believe to be right.
