We've had this discussion not long ago, in a different thread. Sharing (among family and friends) is not the same as pirating at all. Moral arguments aside, the one is legal (details depending upon your place of residence), the other one isn't -- I therefore object to the "i.e."
Being able to trace persons who break the law may be desirable, but on the other hand, here it is part of the increasing traceability of
everything we do -- an increase of control, which can easily be abused...
