I agree. In the old use of the word, "sharing" meant your copy was in someone else's hands. The word has been perverted with new usage methods available digitally and sharing has come to mean duplicating your copy one or many times for others to have and use and perhaps replicate again.

The morality of the issue is unique to each individual and sometimes to the law.
