In the same way lending someone a crowbar (may) result in a burglary? This argument still doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's like a scene from Minority Report. You can't legislate for something that may or may not happen.

How could anyone prove, or even rightly assume, that lending my friend a book would cause the loss of a sale?? It's a big, and totally incorrect assumption that they'd have purchased a copy anyway. I go back to my original point that if anything, my lending is more likely to create future sales.
