The library analogy would work, if the physical CD was passed around between friends. Even if it were passed around to twenty people, only one person has one CD at a time. The equivalent to downloading music is scanning an entire book and posting the scans all over the internet. You're not lending your copy to anyone.


I don't judge anyone that downloads entertainment of dubious origin. I'm certainly not above watching a Youtube video of uncertain legality. However, I don't think the library analogy is a particularly strong defense.
