I would not consider that piracy, I would consider that lending my friend-who-I-trust a more versatile format -- the same reason I would prefer to watch it myself as a digital file, he would rather use a digital file over a format bound to the physical medium.
Either way, with DVDs and ebooks, I trust my friend to delete it when he is done with it.
