[Mass Effect] How many Geth do you have to kill before it becomes murder?

We all know about the Geth and how individual "platforms" (i.e. individual Geth robots) are not individually sentient. 

But when multiple Geth are close together, however, they link up wirelessly in a way that expotentially improves each individual platform's intelligence up to human levels and beyond.

So how many Geth do you have to kill for it to count as murder?

The Alliance knows because of the events that took place on board the Heretic Station and on Rannoch that the Geth can't really be killed even when in close enough proximity to form a neural network, as the platforms they download onto do not contain the only copy of their minds. How many Geth you have to kill for it to be legally considered murder is all of them, as they have no rights, they're evil AI bogeymen who unprovokedly attacked the Quarians during the Morning War. Morally, it depends on whether you believe that losing a platform when all of the minds on board are backed up is murder. The only true act of murder that can be performed on a Geth is the destruction of their servers, normally. In the late stages of the Reaper Invasion, we do see the Geth uploaded to Prime platforms with no backups, but this is the exception, and not the norm. Overwhelmingly speaking, destroying any number of platforms will result in no loss of Geth consciousness. Don't go around destroying platforms thinking you won't get in trouble for it though, the Geth are our allies now.
