I'm pointing out that small scale piracy is what will be encouraged by this service, not large scale piracy.

Let me see if I got this straight:
A guy who's sister lives too far away from the civilized world to visit and to receive mail, but has a good enough internet connection to download a DVD, decides that it is more convenient to upload the DVD, sent the link and password to his sister, then delete the DVD, rather than just send a link to a pirate site to her. Also, the sister who lives far away from civilization has no problem with piracy (otherwise the present from her brother would offend her) but doesn't know how to find the film on a pirate site.
