so here is another problem:
say I rent a movie, for example, a documentary on Karl Marx's impact  
on the US labor movement after WWII (had to do that sorry;) and I  
invite five friends over to watch and enjoy it with me...

q: hasn't the  store 'lost' money on my friends watching the movie  
with me? is that different than filesharing?
