How many times am I allowed to watch a movie after I buy it?
Imagine now that I _buy_ the movie. Can I watch it with my friends? Or do they have to pay the movie too?
If they pay _me_ then I'm a pirate. If they don't, are they pirates?
If nobody payed for the movie than me and my friends who watch it are all pirates.
Except that I didn't buy it because someone in the "extended circle of my friends that I've never met" gave it to me. At least that's how I'm pretending it to be.
Now it's not entirely like this but this is the problem with the Internet Hollywood doesn't like. You can interact with people you've never met very easily and pretend that they're your friends.
