That is of course overrated. The lending is covered by the copyright only when it is made by an establishment open to the public (library, médiathèque, ...). Lending a DVD, a book or a CD to a friend is therefore completely legal.

What infuriates me the most is that it is another website considering users as thieves and criminals. Not very smart from them if they want to educate and inform the users.

Although a little bit of-topic,
but I would like to ask your opinion about the claims made on a new Belgian anti-piracy website www.houdedief.be

it's completely in Flash
Follow the links --> De Wet --> Wat is verboden
then a pop-up appears which says

"Een DVD uitlenen"
Note that is not about copied, downloaded or illegal DVDs.

So, lending a DVD to a friend is illegal?
How about lending a book?
