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.
