I don't think 1 in 100 would think it was wrong to loan a friend a CD, just because one has already ripped it to iTunes.

I don't think it's even illegal. One is allowed to rip CDs for personal use. One is allowed to loan CDs to friends. I don't think there's anything in law that says one is not allowed to do both with the same CD.

I'm not quite sure I see why even you think it's wrong.
