Nothing about IP is basic right from wrong. He might have zero morals, you're the one that's worked in close contact with him not me, but it's entirely possible to have a strong moral compass and ethical framework and not care for IP at all.

In the same way it's possible to have strong ethics and yet be comfortable with "honor killings."

In the sense that moral relativism is a thing yes. A big difference being acceptance within modern western culture. I'd assume (hope) there is a minuscule amount of people for honor killings while it appears to me quite common to not give two hoots about IP outside of fear of legal consequences.

We must hang out with different folks. Everyone I know thinks that an author deserves payment for their work if they wish.
