This debate has been had for a long time, ever since Napster and all through the Pirate Bay arrests and the ease with which piracy can be had on the Steem blockchain where there is no DMCA that can remove the appended transactions.
I think that there's a lot to talk about. For example, with torrents, you're not really lending it, or giving it to friends, but to anyone who may want access to it for free. It would be, maybe, the equivalent of granting access to a private gallery to anyone just because they happen to walk by your stand and ask if you have free tickets to expensive stuff lying around.
I know it's different, but there's a lot of analogies that can be made for and against many kinds of piracy. I really love to explore these topics, but now it's 5 am and I'm going to sleep. Byebye! <3
